The Government of India has introduced a new regime of taxation of online gaming in the Finance Act, 2023. On this front, the Finance Act, 2023, inserted two new provisions, namely Section 115BBJ and Section 194BA under the Income-tax Act for the purposes of subjecting to tax winnings arising to the user from playing online games and corresponding tax withholding thereon. The CBDT, on 22 May, 2023, has also circulated rules and guidelines for computation of winnings for the purposes of taxation of winnings and corresponding tax withholding thereon. Given the aforesaid developments, it seems that the government is taking cognizance of the needs of this sunrise sector and is undertaking initiatives to provide clarity on the regulatory and tax regime for this sector.
The author has made a conscious effort to provide a comprehensive understanding of taxation of online gaming. The book is written in a simple and easy-to-understand language, making it accessible even for those with limited knowledge of taxation.
