Alessandro Vieira backs 15% CIDE-Bets levy on user bets
Senator Alessandro Vieira, rapporteur for Brazil’s Anti-Faction Bill, rejected betting companies’ request to base CIDE-Bets on platforms’ gross revenue, advocating instead a 15% levy on bets placed by users. He said the bill’s proposed contribution would fund public safety and remain in force until the Selective Tax takes effect; the Senate approved the bill and sent it to the Chamber of Deputies, where a vote was postponed until 2026.
The proposed tax base and rate would determine the contribution betting platforms and users face if the bill advances.
