New GST Rates on IPL Ticket

[vincentgh23]

Watching Indian Premier League (IPL) matches from the stadium will get costlier next season after the next generation GST (Goods and Services Tax) reforms were announced on Wednesday.



So far, IPL tickets had been under the 28 per cent tax slab, but as per the reforms, they now fall in the 40 per cent segment, on par with tobacco products as well as casino, race clubs and other luxury spendings. Following the revision, the costliest ticket for a Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) home game (previously Rs 42,350) could go up by nearly Rs 4,000. At Chepauk, the costliest ticket (Rs 7,000) will likely go up to Rs 7,656.


At present, beyond the base price, there was a 28 per cent tax on each ticket. For example, the cheapest Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ticket for a home game at the MA Chidambaram Stadium cost Rs 1,700. Following the tax revision, it will now cost at least Rs 1,860. Similarly, a Rs 2,500 ticket will now cost Rs 2,754 while watching games from the C, D and E upper stands will likely cost around Rs 4,370. Fans in Chennai will also have to pay an additional 25 per cent as entertainment tax to the state government.


For defending champions RCB’s home games at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, where a surge pricing model was employed in the past, the cheapest ticket (Rs 2,300) will now cost around Rs 2,515.


The two IPL franchises which have a huge fan following and witness a big clamour for tickets usually have their stadiums packed. There have been regular instances of fans, after purchasing the tickets online, selling them in the black market for a significantly higher price.


At the Wankhede Stadium, the home of Mumbai Indians (MI), the cheapest ticket from next season could go from Rs 990 to Rs 1,082 and the most expensive one from Rs 18,000 to Rs 19,687.\

Good news)) I've always liked cricket more than hockey. It's hard to explain. I guess it's because cricket is more of a sport than a show, while football is the opposite. I prefer making Indian cricket predictions with download1xbetindia. I love this bookmaker because their app is not only user-friendly but also has a high security rating for data and finances.
