When the jewellery industry welcomes 3% GST on gold, the effect is quite visible where previously tax on gold was 2 % in most states, including 1% excise duty and 1% of the VAT. This 1% increase will be on the customer, which means a slight increase in gold rate will be paid by the consumers. But, Kerala, which used to pay 5% VAT on gold, highest than the other states, will see some benefits. The tax after GST comes down from 5 to 3 percent.
