Revised GST slabs to raise state lottery prices in Kerala
With the new tax slabs effective from today, GST on lottery tickets in Kerala will rise to 40%, according to the State GST department. The department said that earlier reports suggesting no change were incorrect. The hike follows the GST Council’s decision, which placed lotteries in the 40% tax slab of “sin goods” along with cigarettes, beedis, gutka, pan masala.
