GSTN Advisory on activating Geocoding functionality
GSTN has issued an advisory announcing the activation of geocoding functionality for "Additional Place of Business" addresses across all states and union territories in India.
The system will display a system-generated geocoded address, which taxpayers can either accept or modify as needed.
If a system-generated address is not available, taxpayers can input the geocoded address directly.
Taxpayers who have already geocoded their addresses through new registration or core amendment are not required to repeat this process.
The geocoding feature is accessible to various types of taxpayers, including normal taxpayers, composition taxpayers, SEZ units, SEZ developers, ISD, and casual taxpayers, regardless of whether they are active, canceled, or suspended.

51st GST Council Meeting - 2nd August 2023
The Council recommended certain amendments in the CGST Act, 2017 and IGST Act, 2017, including amending Schedule III of CGST Act, to provide further clarity on the taxation of supplies in casinos, horse racing, and online gaming.
|
GST on online money gaming services and
Casinos
A specific provision will be inserted in the IGST
Act to impose GST
liability on the supply
of online money gaming
services by a supplier
located outside India to
a person in India. The
supplier can register
through a simplified
registration scheme for
single registration in
India. Non-compliance
may result in blocking
public access to related
information hosted on
their computer
resources.
|
|
The valuation of supply of online gaming and actionable claims in casinos will be based on the amount paid or payable to the supplier by or on behalf of the player, excluding the amounts entered into games/bets out of winnings of previous games/bets. This valuation method will be used instead of valuing each bet placed individually.
The CGST Rules, 2017, will be amended to insert specific provisions for the valuation of supply of online gaming and supply of actionable claims in casinos.
Efforts will be made to complete the process of making amendments in the Act at the earliest, with the amendments intended to come into effect from 1st October 2023.
These recommendations are aimed at providing clarity and consistency in the taxation of supplies related to casinos, horse racing, and online gaming, and they are expected to be implemented from 1st October 2023.
