With reference to the GST Council's decision to levy a 28 per cent goods and services tax on online gaming, Nazara Technologies said that this tax, once implemented, will apply only to the skill-based real money gaming segment of our business. The contribution of this segment to our overall consolidated revenues for the financial year FY23 was 5.2 per cent.
To the extent required, the Company will proactively take steps to mitigate any potential impact to this segment of our business, and we anticipate minimal impact to our overall revenues. The company remains committed to its growth agenda and will continue to pursue organic and inorganic opportunities across various segments in which it operates, the company said in a regulatory filing. Nazara Technologies stock was down 4 per cent.
Santosh Dalvi, Partner and Deputy Head of Indirect Tax, KPMG in India said the GST Council in its 50th meeting has taken a radical decision to levy GST at 28 per cent on all online gaming, horse racing and casinos on the full-face value irrespective of whether it involves skill or chance.
