Abstract: In a method of video decoding, a no transform skip residual coding rice constraint flag in a general constraint information (GCI) syntax structure for coded video data in a bitstream is determined. The no transform skip residual coding rice constraint flag is associated with a residual coding tool. When the no transform skip residual coding rice constraint flag in the GCI syntax structure is equal to 1, the coded video data is decoded without invoking the residual coding tool. When the no transform skip residual coding rice constraint flag is equal to 0, a value of a transform skip residual coding rice present in slice header flag for one of one or more coded layer video sequences (CLVSs) in the coded video data is determined. The coded video data in the bitstream is determined based on the value of the transform skip residual coding rice present in slice header flag.
