GST applies to actionable claims arising from betting and gambling because the taxable event is supply, and actionable claims can validly be treated as goods within the GST framework. Staking money on an uncertain outcome, whether in online gaming, fantasy sports or casinos, gives the transaction the character of betting and gambling; the online medium and elements of skill do not alter that result where stakes are involved. The full stake amount appropriated for participation forms consideration and enters valuation. Rules 31A, 31B and 31C, and the 2023 amendments, were upheld as valid, clarificatory and retrospective machinery provisions. Casino valuation was left to be recomputed under Rule 31C, while the challenge to the GST levy and related notices failed.
