By Economic Times - 8 months ago
Can anything be done to curb gold smuggling? If there's no import tax, there would be no financial incentive to smuggle gold (even as other reasons will still be there). However, even smugglers have financial costs of 2-3%. As such, the break-even level of import tax where the financial incentive to smuggle gold would be negated could be guesstimated at 3%.
