How JCA Serves Media
India's media and entertainment sector is undergoing rapid digital transformation — OTT platforms, music streaming, digital advertising, and content licensing have created new and complex tax questions around intangible asset transactions, royalty withholding under DTAA, GST on digital content, and the classification of platform subscription fees.
