GST Council defers decision on levying a 28% tax on casinos, online gaming, horse racing, lottery

@the_news_21

The GST Council on Wednesday deferred decision on levying a 28 per cent tax on casinos, online gaming, horse racing and lottery pending more consultations with stakeholders, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said.

A group of ministers headed by Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma has been asked to consider submissions of stakeholders again on the valuation mechanism and submit its report by July 15, she told reporters here.

The council will meet again in the first week of August to decide on the issue, she said.

A two-day meeting of the panel considered a report of the GoM but deferred a decision as Goa and some others wanted to make more submissions.

The GoM had recommended that online gaming should be taxed at the full value of the consideration, including the contest entry fee paid by the player on participating in the game.

In cases of race courses, it had suggested that GST be levied on the full value of bets pooled in the totalisators and placed with the bookmakers.

It also recommended that no distinction should be made on grounds of game of skill or game of chance for the purpose of the levy of GST and should be taxed at the highest rate of 28 per cent.

  1. Is Saunders (30-0, 14 KOs) going to solve the riddle? He's a slick southpaw who can stand up to heavy hitters, like he did against David Lemieux in 2017. He's also coming off a dominant performance over Martin Murray last year. But it will take a razor-sharp performance for the WBO world titleholder to upset Alvarez and become the man to beat at super middleweight. Delighted boss Luke Garrard hailed a ‘massive’ penalty save from keeper Nathan Ashmore deep in stoppage time as Boreham Wood grabbed maximum points at Maidenhead.

    Betting on the correct score is very popular among recreational and professional bettors. Odds offered by bookmakers for this kind of soccer betting are very high, also the profit is big. Unlike the traditional type of betting home, draw, and away, also known as 1×2, with correct score betting there are many more possible outcomes. The correct score double is a unique tip that we offer, first becoming famous on our Twitter feeds when we landed a huge 176 1 tip. With so many football matches happening every day, our tipsters and preview writers come together to discuss which of our previewed matches they have the most confidence in. The two games they like the most end up become our daily Correct Score Double. Sunday sees Everton v Manchester City and Arsenal v Brighton gracing our TV screens and there’s Monday night football in the shape of relegation-threatened Leicester hosting the red-hot Liverpool.
