Antam Gold Prices Slide Further to Rp2,668,000 per Gram
Antam Gold Prices Slide Further to Rp2 – As of Saturday at 09.08 local time, the Antam gold price observed on the Logam Mulia website showed a further decline since June 18. The price had previously dropped from Rp2,673,000 to Rp2,668,000 per gram, marking a decrease of Rp5,000. This trend aligns with ongoing market dynamics, where fluctuations in global gold prices have continued to impact domestic rates. Meanwhile, the buyback price for gold also experienced a reduction, settling at Rp2,401,000 per gram. These changes reflect the evolving economic conditions influencing the precious metals sector in Indonesia.
Tax Implications for Gold Transactions
Selling gold at the Antam price involves tax deductions, as outlined in PMK Number 34/PMK.10/2017, applicable to transactions involving gold types ranging from 1 gram to 1,000 grams (1 kilogram). The tax is calculated based on the selling price, with the rate varying depending on the buyer’s tax status. For instance, individuals with a Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP) face a 1.5% tax on resale transactions exceeding Rp10 million, while non-NPWP holders are subject to a higher rate of 3%. These rates are designed to regulate the flow of gold within the domestic market and ensure compliance with tax regulations.
Proof of PPh 22 withholding tax accompanies every purchase of gold bullion.
When reselling gold bullion to PT Antam Tbk with a value surpassing Rp10 million, the tax rate under PPh Article 22 is determined by the buyer’s NPWP status. NPWP holders pay 1.5%, while non-holders are charged 3%. This tax is directly deducted from the total buyback value, simplifying the transaction process for sellers. However, the tax mechanism applies differently to purchases, where the rate is 0.45% for NPWP holders and 0.9% for those without one. This distinction highlights the importance of maintaining proper tax documentation when acquiring gold bullion.

Economic Context and Market Impact
The recent decrease in Antam gold prices could be attributed to a combination of factors, including international market trends, inflationary pressures, and domestic demand fluctuations. Gold is often seen as a hedge against economic uncertainty, and its price movements can signal broader market sentiments. The buyback price drop further signals that the market is adjusting to these conditions, potentially affecting the profitability of gold trading for investors.
Analysts suggest that the price slide might be a temporary correction, especially as global demand for gold remains robust in sectors like jewelry, technology, and investment. However, the tax deductions for both resale and purchase transactions could play a critical role in shaping the market’s future. By applying these rates, the government aims to balance the interests of buyers and sellers while generating revenue from the gold trade.
The Antam price serves as a benchmark for the gold market in Indonesia, with fluctuations directly impacting the value of gold bullion transactions. This benchmark is particularly significant for individuals and institutions engaged in buying, selling, or holding gold. The latest price update, as of Saturday, represents a key milestone in the ongoing market adjustments, reflecting the interplay between global and local economic forces.

This trend contrasts with earlier periods when the price had risen to Rp2,733,000 per gram, as noted in a prior report. Such volatility underscores the importance of monitoring the market closely, as it can affect both individual and institutional investors.
