T&P x EY Webinar - The Hidden GST Bomb Inside Every Cross-Border SaaS Payment
Binance collected $550M in fees from Indian consumers between 2017 and 2024, without an Indian entity, without GST registration, and apparently without a second thought. DGGI, the Indian Tax Authority, noticed. The result: a $100 million tax notice.
They are not alone. ~70 companies have received retrospective tax notices. 574 have already proactively registered. Yours could be next.
Here is the gap most digital businesses miss: your PA-CB licensed payment flow clears the payment. DGGI still wants 18%. These are two separate obligations on two separate regulatory layers, and DGGI treats them exactly that way.
If your digital goods or service offering qualifies as an OIDAR (Online Information Database Access and Retrieval) service, 18% GST applies to every B2C transaction with an Indian consumer, irrespective of location of incorporation. And DGGI is not guessing. They are using AI, payments transaction data, app store records, and web traffic to find you.
In this webinar, we are breaking it all down, specifically for those selling to Indian end consumers.
What we will cover:
What OIDAR means and who it captures
Why a compliant PA-CB payment flow does not satisfy GST obligations
How DGGI uses AI, payments transaction data, app store records, and web traffic to identify skippers
What you need to do if you have not registered yet

Aisha Hussaini, Partner, Indirect Tax, EY India
Vishal Mehta, Travel & Payments
