DGGI Identifies 642 Offshore Online Gaming Companies for Investigation
The Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) has identified 642 offshore entities involved in online money gaming for investigation due to potential tax evasion. These entities have been flagged for non-responsiveness and non-cooperation, prompting the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to block their websites/URLs under Section 14A(3) of the IGST Act, 2017. Despite lacking reciprocal arrangements with foreign governments, DGGI continues its efforts to combat online gaming-related tax evasion.
