The value of supply of lottery shall be deemed to be 100/128 of the face value of ticket or of the price as notified in the Official Gazette by the Organising State, whichever is higher. Organising State has the same meaning as assigned to it in clause (f) of sub-rule (1) of rule 2 of the Lotteries (Regulation) Rules, 2010.
Earlier a uniform rate of 28% was fixed for Lottery being applicable from 1st March 2020. (Notification No. 1/2020- Central Tax (Rate) dated 21.02.2020)
There is no distinction for lottery authorized by State Governments and lottery run by State Governments for the purpose of taxability and, hence, the standard rate of 28% shall apply.
Now the corresponding changes in valuation mechanism in rule 31(A)(2) have also been made.
