New Delhi, Apr 5 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Friday allowed a petition of the Centre and transferred to itself pleas, challenging the imposition of 28 per cent Goods and Services Tax on e-gaming firms, from nine high courts for an authoritative pronouncement.
THE Philippine electronic gaming (e-gaming) sector had a banner year in 2023, with revenues nearly doubling year on year due to policy reforms, according to Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Alejandro Tengco.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman clarified that the valuation rules for imposing a 28% Goods and Services Tax (GST) on entry-level bets on online gaming platforms are prospective in effect. The clarification came during the Lok Sabha discussion on the CGST (Second Amendment) Bill. The GST Council had previously clarified that the 28% GST applies to online gaming, specifically on entry-level bets, with the effective date for amendments set as October 1.
The notices raised a demand of GST on the ‘buy in amount for each game and proceeds on the hypothesis that the staking of money in online games (whether of skill or chance) amounts to betting and gambling and that the ‘buy in constitutes as a transfer of goods as actionable claims, according to petitions challenging the notices.
