Hi,

Would GST be charged on participation fee paid by participants for taking part in online contest.

If yes then at what rate and under which HSN it would be charged?

Thanks

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Goods and Services Tax (GST) is applicable to participation fees for online contests. The consensus is that such fees are generally subject to GST at an 18% rate, falling under the 'admission to event' provision. Even if prizes are non-monetary, like books or certificates, the participation fee itself is still considered taxable.
