Taxes, GST & TDS
VideoMart is The Marketplace for Premium Video Content, where creators can sell premium video experiences directly to their audience.
To ensure transparency and compliance, VideoMart processes creator payouts in accordance with applicable Indian tax laws, including GST and Tax Deducted at Source (TDS), wherever applicable.
How Creator Payments Work
When a customer purchases your premium video content, VideoMart securely collects the payment on your behalf.
The payout process follows these steps:
The customer purchases your premium video content.
VideoMart collects the payment.
VideoMart deducts the applicable VideoMart Marketplace Fee.
Statutory deductions, such as TDS (where applicable), are applied.
The remaining amount is transferred to your registered bank account during the payout cycle.
This ensures every transaction is transparent, secure, and compliant with applicable regulations.
Selling Price Includes GST
When you publish premium video content, you set a single selling price for your customers.
The price displayed on VideoMart is GST Inclusive, meaning customers see the final price they need to pay without any additional tax being added during checkout.
For example:
Selling Price Set by CreatorPrice Paid by Customer₹499₹499₹999₹999₹2,499₹2,499
This provides a simple and transparent purchasing experience for customers.
Marketplace Fee
VideoMart charges a Marketplace Fee for facilitating transactions, payment processing, platform operations, customer support, and maintaining The Marketplace for Premium Video Content.
The applicable Marketplace Fee is deducted before your payout is processed.
You can view the exact fee charged for every transaction in your settlement report.
Tax Deducted at Source (TDS)
Where required under applicable Indian tax laws, VideoMart deducts Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) before releasing creator payouts.
The deducted amount is deposited with the appropriate tax authorities.
