Overseas players too will have to pay 28% GST on bets placed on domestic e-gaming platforms
Domestic online gaming companies will be required to deduct 28 per cent GST on bets placed from overseas locations, including by foreign players, as such bets will also be treated as actionable claims. The amendment to this effect has been approved by Parliament in the Integrated GST (IGST) Act on Friday.
The GST Council had last week cleared changes in Central GST (IGST) and IGST laws to levy 28 per cent tax on full face value of bets in online gaming, casinos, and horse race clubs.
