Indian Government mandates offshore online gaming companies to register

Under the direction of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, the Central GST (Amendment) Bill, 2023, and the Integrated GST (Amendment) Bill, 2023, registration would also be required for foreign e-gaming enterprises doing business in India. In the event that offshore platforms violate the requirements for GST registration and tax payment, it also stipulates access restrictions.

Online games are those that are played over the internet or another electronic network, according to the CGST amendment bill.

India agreed last week to impose a 28 percent tax on the sum of money that online gambling operators receive from players, rather than on each wager.

According to amendments introduced in Parliament on Friday, foreign online gaming businesses operating in India will be shut down if they don't register or designate a representative or proxy to pay taxes there.
