Sir/Madam,

GST would have been paid by the car manufacturer. Winning a price in sales promotion event cannot be considered as supply of service. Therefore, in my opinion there is no question of paying gst on the car by the winner.

I endorse the views of Shri Rajagopalan.

In my view it is taxable.

This activity tantamounts to lottery service. It has ingredients of lottery service.

AI Summary

Taxability of prize winnings: debate whether GST applies to lucky-draw car prizes, with views split on lottery service.
Whether a lucky draw prize attracts indirect tax is contested: one position says the winner need not pay Goods and Services Tax because winning is not a supply of service and any GST would be borne by the manufacturer; an alternative position treats the event as a lottery service, making the prize taxable.
