City references below apply local market spread assumptions over the national 24K benchmark so rates are not shown as identical placeholders. Final quotes can still vary by dealer policy and inventory.
Ireland gold pricing follows global XAU spot converted into EUR, with Dublin acting as the country's main bullion and premium-jewelry reference corridor. Current 24K benchmark on this page is €125.85 per gram and €3,914.23 per troy ounce.
The Central Bank of Ireland reported 386,598 fine troy ounces of gold in its reserve disclosures at the end of 2024, equal to roughly 12 tonnes. Official reserve policy does not set retail quotes directly, but it remains an important confidence anchor for Irish long-term precious-metals demand.
| Gold Type | VAT | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Investment gold bars (99.5%+) | 0% | VAT-exempt under EU investment-gold rules |
| Investment gold coins | 0% | Qualifying bullion coins remain VAT-exempt |
| Gold jewelry | 23% | Standard Irish VAT on jewelry checkout |
| Making charges | 23% | Labor and invoice add-ons are taxed |
| Reference | Purity | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 999 / 990 | 99.9% / 99.0% | Investment bars and high-purity bullion items |
| 916 | 91.6% | 22K specialty and traditional jewelry |
| 750 | 75.0% | 18K premium jewelry |
| 585 / 375 | 58.5% / 37.5% | 14K and 9K mainstream retail jewelry |
Ireland does not have the same mass-market bullion-coin footprint as Austria or Canada, but the Central Bank of Ireland issues collector gold proof coins and Dublin remains the country's main precious-metals retail hub.
Irish buyers generally benchmark coins and bars against the live per-ounce reference of €3,914.23 before dealer premium, packaging, and storage costs.
Dublin usually runs the tightest domestic benchmark spread because dealer density, assay-office presence, and institutional precious-metals infrastructure are strongest there. Cork and Galway follow as the next most active regional markets, while Limerick, Waterford, and Kilkenny can show modest local variation.
Use gram and troy-ounce benchmarks first, then compare city rows for spread checks before finalizing jewelry or bullion purchases.
