The wait for clarity on how much and on which crypto transactions the goods and services (GST) would be levied seems longer as the states panel nominated by the GST Council in 2022 has expressed its inability to submit a paper on taxation of crypto assets, sources told CNBC-TV18.
Earlier in June and December 2022, during the 47th and 48th GST Council meetings, the matter was deferred as there was no conclusion over issues regarding the nature and taxability of various supplies in the crypto ecosystem.
Given the complex nature of the transactions, the GST Council felt that the issues involved in the crypto ecosystem needed deeper study. The Council had then asked Haryana and Karnataka to study all aspects and submit a paper before the Fitment Committee.
The matter, however, is likely to be deferred again in the upcoming council meeting, sources added.
