Not only that, for those conducting gold buyback transactions worth more than Rp10 million, tax deductions also apply—1.5% for NPWP holders and 3% for non-NPWP holders—which are directly deducted from the total buyback value. Therefore, before investing in gold, it is important to understand the intricacies of the accompanying taxes!
