Lakhs of tax had to be paid for gift bags
Even the products and services in the bag come free of cost, the recipient has to pay tax for the same as it is treated as income. Interestingly, the company Distinctive Assets had a direct clash with the Academy Awards committee in 2016 when gift bags contained marijuana vape pens, sex toys, and a vampire breast lift. The Academy does not want to be associated with it, so the specific property can no longer use the Academy’s trademarks.
