As.Tro panel to discuss VLT proposals and possible AWP tax increase

As.Tro will hold a technical panel on 23 October at 11:30 to define the association's proposal for the VLT segment, ahead of a meeting called by the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli for 30 October. The meeting is to share simplification measures and technical proposals to put to the administration, with the aim of finding solutions that could improve the operation of the machines segment.

The agenda will also cover reports that have circulated in recent days about a possible increase in taxation on AWP and VLT machines under the next budget law. The panel will examine the possible economic effects of a further increase in the levy, with the aim of preparing analyses and documents setting out the current level of tax pressure on the AWP and VLT segment and its sustainability limits.

As.Tro said that, at a time already marked by significant difficulties for land-based gambling, it considers it necessary to provide objective elements to assess the impact of any new increases, including in relation to possible consequences for the sustainability of companies and the stability of the whole supply chain. The source gives no further statement from the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli and no appeal status.
