Subhash Reddy and MR Shah, JJ has held that while determining the taxable value of lottery the prize money is not to be excluded for the purpose of levy of GST.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court explained that for determining the value of the lottery, there is statutory provision contained in Section 15 read with Rule 31A. Section 15 of the <span style=\"color: #000000;\">Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 <\/span>by sub-section (2) provides what shall be included in the value of supply. What can be included in the value is enumerated in sub-clause (a) to (e) of sub-section (2) of Section 15. Further, subsection (3) of Section 15 provides that what shall not be included in the value of the supply.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">&#8220;What is the value of taxable supply is subject to the statutory provision which clearly regulates, which provision has to be given its full effect and something which is not required to be excluded in the value of taxable supply cannot be added by judicial interpretation.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, Rule 31A as noted above, sub-rule (2) as amended clearly provides that value of supply shall be deemed to be 100\/128 of the face value of ticket or of the prize as notified in the Official Gazette by the Organising State, whichever is higher.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court said that the value of taxable supply is a matter of statutory regulation and when the value is to be transaction value which is to be determined as per Section 15 it is not permissible to compute the value of taxable supply by excluding prize which has been contemplated in the statutory scheme. It was hence, held that<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u201cWhen prize paid by the distributor\/agent is not contemplated to be excluded from the value of taxable supply, we are not persuaded to accept the submission of the petitioner that prize money should be excluded for computing the taxable value of supply.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Skill Lotto Solutions v.
