About gold in Malaysia
Malaysia's state-issued "Kijang Emas" gold bullion coin — named after the barking deer depicted on its face — is legal tender, issued by the central bank, Bank Negara Malaysia, in 1oz, ½oz and ¼oz denominations. Jewellery purity, by contrast, is governed separately by the Federation of Goldsmiths and Jewellers Associations of Malaysia (FGJAM) and independent assay houses, with 916 (22K) the dominant standard for retail jewellery.
Market notes for Malaysia
Malaysia ended its long-standing duty-free treatment of gold bullion on June 8, 2026, introducing a new 10% customs tariff on physical gold bars meeting London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) standards -- a significant reversal for a market that had never previously levied import or export duty on gold bullion or jewellery.
Buying gold in Malaysia
Malaysia's June 2026 tariff applies specifically to LBMA-standard bars, while gold jewellery and Investment Precious Metals (IPM)-qualifying products retain their existing tax treatment -- confirm whether a Malaysian quote is for an LBMA bar (now tariffed) or jewellery/IPM gold (unaffected) before comparing prices.
Tax and duty notes for Malaysia
As of June 8, 2026, Malaysia charges a 10% import duty on LBMA-standard physical gold bars, ending a historic exemption. Gold meeting Investment Precious Metals (IPM) criteria (99.5%+ purity) remains exempt under Malaysia's Sales and Service Tax (SST), and gold jewellery is fully exempt from SST too — a structure dating to SST's 2018 introduction after Malaysia abolished GST.

Methodology
How we calculate the price
- We fetch the international spot gold price (XAU/USD) live from gold-api.com + xaus.com, with automatic failover between providers.
- The spot rate is converted into the local currency using live exchange rates from exchangerate-api.com, then scaled by purity (24K, 22K, 18K…) and by weight (gram, tola, ounce, kilogram, baht).
- The result is the pure spot value. Retail counters may add dealer premium, tax and making charges — the number here is the underlying benchmark.
