  1. Gold rates are subject to change from nation to nation as they have been accounted for differently in the different countries. There are factors that affect the rate of gold that includes the inflation rate or currency exchange rate, the tax schedule that has to be followed by the imports of the gold and the steps taken by central banks and gold miners. The gold rate changes in consequences to these factors and thus varies from country to country.
