NOT IN FORCE. This Public Clarification was abrogated by VAT Public Clarification No. VATP043 of 2025 and previously this Public Clarification replaces Public Clarification No. VATP029 of 2022.
Jewellers generally receive a consideration for the supply of gold and diamond jewellery to cover the price of the gold and diamond as well as the Making Service.
In some instances, taxable persons supplying gold or diamond jewellery reflect the gold or diamond price and the Making Charges separately on the tax invoice issued for the supply, and in other cases both are reflected as a single price without disclosing the separate prices of each component.
