New GST Rates Effect On Movies

0

Ever since the announcement of the New GST Tax Regime arrived, the cinephiles were curious to know how it affects the movies’ ticket rates. However, the new GST rates do not have much effect on movies/theaters.

After Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s latest news about lower GST rates, the GST Council made a big announcement on Wednesday, changing the GST categories for different goods. Starting September 22, 2025, the new rates of 5% and 18% will kick in.

Back in the day, movie tickets priced at Rs 100 or less came with a 12% GST. Now, it’s just 5% in the new and improved slab. But tickets priced over Rs 100 still have an 18% GST rate.

Because of a big 7% cut in GST for tickets under ₹100, ticket prices at single-screen theaters will drop. However, the question is most of the single screens have very few classes that have the ticket rate under Rs 100.

So, the new GST rates will not make much difference to the current movie ticket rating system in Telugu states.
