The reform targets event organisers and suppliers from other states, placing new compliance responsibilities on venue operators and property owners hosting events.

Property owners must inform tax authorities at least 3 days before an event, provide details even if not GST-registered, and verify the organiser's PAN and GSTIN.

If event details are not reported, the venue owner will be treated as responsible for all transactions during the event and will be liable for the entire tax burden.

The directive covers a wide range of events including fashion shows, concerts, exhibitions, seminars, sports events, and more.

Authorities identified that vendors from outside Goa often conduct short-duration events without proper GST registration, leading to revenue leakages. This directive reinforces the requirement for them to register as Casual Taxable Persons.

Non-compliant venue owners may face tax liability on the entire event turnover, financial penalties, and imprisonment of up to 6 months.
