ANJL opposes proposed tax increase on Brazil’s online betting operators
Brazil’s ANJL challenged Finance Minister Fernando Haddad’s comments on higher taxes for online betting companies, describing the proposed increase as technically unsound. The association said operators pay a 12% contribution on the difference between bets and prizes, alongside other taxes, including 25% corporate income tax and 9% social contribution on net profit. Haddad defended continuing the proposed tax policy at a Senate hearing on 14 October.
A proposed tax increase could affect licensed betting operators, while ANJL disputes its technical basis.
