#cashbacks

I have spent the better part of the last five years dabbling in various “Get-Paid-To” (GPT) applications and websites. The premise is always alluring—monetize your downtime, turn idle minutes into fractional income. Yet, the execution almost invariably falls flat. As someone who values performance and results over convoluted processes, the current state of the GPT industry is deeply…

Several online gaming firms have been asked to provide comprehensive information about the cashbacks granted between October 1, 2023, and June 15, 2024, by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI). This action comes after it was discovered that these companies were paying players’ taxes back as cashback through different promotional accounts. This examination takes place in the midst of the 28% GST regime’s installation, which has had a big effect on online gaming companies’ earnings.

Investigation Details

Major participants in the online gaming industry, including Delta Corp., the owner of Adda52.com, have been contacted by the DGGI. The time frame from October 2023 to June 15, 2024, is the main emphasis. The directorate reportedly discovered that online gambling companies were paying players back for taxes as cashback through promotional accounts. These transactions were shown to be a means of evading the cashback GST.

Online Gaming Accounts Structure

An online gamer usually has three different types of accounts to grasp the situation: a deposit wallet, a payment wallet, and a promo wallet. Since cashbacks are exempt from GST, the companies under investigation were sending taxed funds in the form of cashback into these gamers’ promotional wallets. The DGGI’s present investigation was prompted by concerns expressed by this practice.

Official Statements

A government source said, “Investigation detected that the real money gaming companies were offering cashback to the players in their promo account for which summons had been sent.” This statement emphasises the continuing inquiry into the management and distribution of cashbacks by these companies following the implementation of the GST.
