Lottery Tickets come under the category of ‘actionable ticket’ and that’s why are considered as ‘Goods’ under the GST regime. The selling of lottery tickets comes under the supply of taxable goods and therefore, GST is levied on the sale of lottery tickets.

Earlier, there used to be separate rates for lotteries sold in our country. Let us look at the rates-

• If Run by State Government- 12% GST is levied on the tickets.
• If Authorised by State Government- 28% GST is levied on the tickets.

Nonetheless, after a new notification from the 31st GST Council Meeting, the uniform GST rate for the lottery has been notified as 28% for all kinds of lottery tickets sold in India.

The supply of lottery is covered by Tax Invoice which includes all the necessary provisions and invoicing standards for a lottery ticket manufacturer cannot be relaxed.

Time of Supply of Lottery Tickets

1) Date of issuing the invoice or last date to issue an invoice.

2) Date of receiving the supply payment.

If a person or consumer pays the sum for a draw or purchases a lottery ticket, supply payment is the money paid.

Place of Supply of Lottery Tickets
