Deltin Group, a prominent casino and hospitality company in India, recently received a GST notice from tax authorities. This notice has raised several questions among businesses and taxpayers regarding GST compliance in the gaming and entertainment sector. 
The notice primarily focuses on the classification of services provided by Deltin and the applicable GST rates. Under Indian GST law, casinos and gaming services are taxed at 28%, but there have been disputes about whether certain activities qualify as games of skill or chance, which can affect tax liability.
Businesses operating in similar sectors should ensure proper documentation and clear service classification to avoid similar notices. Consulting with tax experts and maintaining transparent records can help in addressing GST-related queries from authorities effectively. |
