India's Supreme Court hears dispute over 28% GST on online games
India's Supreme Court began hearing arguments on 5 May over whether staking money on skill games makes them taxable as gambling. The government says the 28% GST should apply to the full contest entry amount, while gaming companies argue it should cover only platform fees or commissions; hearings are expected to continue until 9 May.
The court's interpretation could determine whether operators pay GST on contest entry amounts or only on platform fees and commissions.
