SOGI calls for 28% GST on platform fee and not deposits for Indian gaming companies

Real money gaming firms-backed Skill Online Games Institute (SOGI) has demanded that the government levy 28 per cent GST on platform fees instead of on deposit for gaming companies in India, to prevent offshore platforms from taking advantage of significant tax arbitrage.

The demand comes ahead of the 55th meeting of the GST Council in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan on Saturday.
