GST On Online Gaming, Casinos, Racing: Issues


Context

  • The ministerial panel formed under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime for casinos, racetracks, and online gaming is likely to reiterate its earlier stance of a uniform 28 percent tax rate for the three categories.
    • Currently, online gaming platforms pay 18% GST on the platform fee alone, rather than the total value including prize money; however, the GST Council will make the final decision on the valuation mechanism.
  • This is because the panel members disagreed on whether it should be levied on the platform fee or the total amount paid by the participants.
