Friday council meeting to be naughty in regards to GST rates on lotteries

-

New delhi date. 18 September 2019, Wednesday

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) council meeting on Friday is likely to create a lot of heat on the lotteries. The central government wants to keep the same rate of GST on lotteries while Kerala is insisting on continuing the existing two rate structure.

The issue was earlier referred to Attorney General KK Venugopal, who voted that the constitutional autonomy of trading on lotteries was not violated at any rate. The GST Council can decide on this issue.

The council is likely to discuss the rate on lotteries at Friday's meeting. At present, the rate of GST on lotteries of the state government is 5% but the rate of GST on lotteries run by private agencies with the approval of the state government is 5%.

The council has noticed that this double rate is being misused by some private lottery operators, sources said.

If each lottery is covered under a 5% rate, the government treasury is likely to generate additional revenue of Rs 5 crore.

Most of the decisions have been taken unanimously in the council so far, but Kerala's finance minister had asked for a vote in the last meeting on lottery issues.

The Kerala government does not want to make any change in the rate of lotteries. If this is done, the Kerala government believes that thousands of lotteries agents and sellers will be affected and the revenue of the states and the center will also be affected.

Meanwhile, Friday's meeting seems unlikely to satisfy auto sector and biscuits companies' demand for lowering GST rates. The recent slowdown in crude oil prices could put pressure on the government's fiscal deficit as the Center's GST revenues have slowed as a result of the economic downturn. In view of this fact, the central government will endeavor to increase the revenue through GST, the sources said.

MUMBAI: Brokerage firms and fintech companies have objected to market regulator SEBI's discussion paper considering all stock trading orders issued through Application Programming Interface (API) as separate trading, saying it could adversely affect the growth of such trading from India. Algo trading is considered to be an automatic buying-selling system based on algorithms. SEBI has recently said in a discussion paper that it would create a framework for regulating Algo trading by retail investors. A senior official of a brokerage firm said that monitoring of Algo trading is a need of the hour, but such an attempt could hamper the growth of Sebi Algo trading. He added that if the suggestions made in the SEBI discussion paper were implemented, it would be difficult for brokers to make the API available. About 70% of the daily trading volume in Indian stock markets is transacted through advanced forms of algo trading. Algo Trading came to India in the year 2006, but then only se...
