Why use IPM to Buy Gold in Singapore

Buying gold bullion in Singapore has become a huge attraction for investors as it presents a golden opportunity to save paying tax on top of the purchase price. In 2012, legislation was introduced that placed Investment Precious Metals (IPM) outside of the tariffs set for other goods and services. However, to qualify for the scheme precious metals have to conform to certain conditions.

What Is IPM Gold?

Gold bullion has to be of the highest purity attainable and is set at 99.5% for all ingots, bars and coins. Bars can be of any size or weight but they have to conform to the traditional, simple shape of a bar. Any gold ingots that resemble jewellery through having a hole bored in them for a chain to thread through are exempt from the IPM category and are subsequently liable for tax. The gold bars must also be stamped with a recognisable and verifiable hallmark. To qualify as IPM gold, coins have to adhere to the extra condition of having being used as legal tender at some stage in the country of origin. Coins that fall into the IPM category include the Singapore Lion, the Australian Kangaroo and the American Buffalo.
