Aragón estimates €17.53m lottery-prize tax exemption for 2027
Regulation1 min read
Aragón’s 2027 budget bill estimates a €17.53m tax benefit from the partial exemption for certain lottery and betting prizes. The exemption applies to prizes up to €40,000, with a 20% charge on any amount above that threshold; the Cortes de Aragón is scheduled to hold the final vote on 22 December.
Aragón’s 2027 budget bill estimates that the region will forgo €17.53m in tax revenue through a partial exemption for prizes from certain lotteries and betting games. The estimate is based on data supplied by Spain’s State Secretariat for Finance. The corresponding estimate for all autonomous communities is €589.84m.
Prizes are exempt up to €40,000 each, with a 20% charge on the amount above that threshold.
The finance ministry estimates annual sales and prizes using data through the first quarter of the previous year from Sociedad Estatal Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, ONCE, Cruz Roja Española and Loterías de Cataluña. It separates fully exempt prizes from those only partly exempt, then applies the 20% rate to the exempt amount.
The bill does not quantify tax benefits for other gambling taxes. Aragón’s government cited a lack of data to calculate benefits arising from national rules on the gambling activities tax, which includes online gambling. It said benefits affecting the tax on raffles, tombolas and random draws were of limited economic relevance.
The proposed budget totals €9,594.7m and is Aragón’s first after operating under an extended 2024 budget. The Cortes de Aragón has scheduled the final vote for 22 December.
