Good going, still here if needed. Also for the survival if anyone fancies that, I've already finished two games and it isn't too difficult solo but could be more fun in coop. Plus I finished the campaign this morning but still lots of collectibles missing and ALL weapons to master which is going to be quite the grind. There is a little cheat in the guide to help with that but still a huge grind. Oh and there is authentic to do.
Did govt just give partial relief on tax to online gaming firms? Find out
02.08.2023 - 15:01 / tech.hindustantimes.com
After talking tough last time around, the government has sought to provide partial relief to online gaming companies today. Government has decided to levy taxes on online gaming companies on the total funds deposited to play online games and not on every bet, Reuters quoted Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman as saying on Wednesday.
Last month, the government said it had decided to impose 28% tax on funds that online gaming companies collect from their customers for every bet.
The decision to impose a 28 per cent tax on the full face value of bets placed on online games will be implemented from October 1 even though there was demand for a review from states like Delhi and Goa, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Wednesday.
The GST Council -- the highest decision making body of the new indirect tax regime that comprises Union finance minister and representatives of all states -- discussed the language of amendments that will be needed to enabling taxing online gaming, she said after the panel meeting.
The panel had at its last meeting decided to levy a 28 per cent GST on full face value of bets placed and Wednesday's meeting was to deliberate on the tax law changes that would be required to implement it.
Sitharaman said Delhi finance minister opposed the levy of the tax on online gaming while Goa and Sikkim wanted the levy on GGR (gross gaming revenue) and not on face value.
Sitharaman, however, said other states ranging from Karnataka to Gujarat, Maharasthra and Uttar Pradesh wanted the decision taken at the last meeting to be implemented.
The new levy, after required changes are made in the central and state laws, is likely to come into effect from October 1, she said.
There would be a review of the levy after six months of its implementation, she added.
