The Supreme Court has pronounced an order in the matters relating to show cause notices issued to delta corp and its subsidiaries for the short payment of goods and services tax. Based on the pronouncement, the company understands that the basis of computation of revenue for the determination of GST adopted since October 2023 will be applicable retrospectively for the period between July 2017 to September 2023 as well. This development represents a favourable outcome for the entity as it clarifies the tax liability structure for past periods.
The ruling determines that the levy of GST will not be on the amount of gross bet value of all games played during the relevant period. Previously, this method had the effect of notionally multiplying the revenue and consequently increasing the GST payable. Instead, the tax will be calculated on the amount received from players for the chips sold to them.
