China Implements New Tax Policies on Gold to Regulate Market

According to PANews, China's Ministry of Finance has announced that new tax policies concerning gold will be in effect from November 1, 2025, until December 31, 2027. The announcement outlines the value-added tax management standards for 'investment gold' and 'non-investment gold.' The new regulations categorize gold based on 'purity and function' to standardize the market, curb arbitrage activities, and reduce compliance costs for investors. Industry experts suggest that this move will direct funds towards standard gold and high-liquidity products like ETFs, with no direct impact on ordinary consumers.
