GST implication of Sale of Web Series to OTT platform.


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
When a production house sells a web series to an OTT platform, it's generally treated as a supply of software or Online Information Database Access and Retrieval (OIDAR) services. This typically incurs a GST rate of 18%, regardless of whether Input Tax Credit (ITC) is claimed. The key is that it falls under the supply of digital content rather than a simple IP right transfer.

09 March 2020 A sole proprietorship production house is planning to sell a web series to any OTT platform like Amazon Prime.
Should it be treated as Transfer of Intellectual Property (IP) right in respect of goods other than Information Technology software and charged at the rate of 12% GST

If not Please tell the correct GST implication of the same ??

09 March 2020 No, it will fall under software transfer.
