Indian gaming operators seek interim relief from 28% GST
At least two Indian gaming companies have filed applications in the Supreme Court seeking temporary protection from tax enforcement while a challenge to the 28% GST proceeds, according to reports cited in the source. The court case concerns whether the tax applies to players’ full deposits and to periods before October 2023; a February deadline for earlier notices is approaching.
The court’s decisions could affect operators’ tax exposure and the treatment of online games in India.
