Brazil federal prosecutor proposes raising online betting tax share for public health
Federal prosecutor Fabiano de Moraes proposed increasing the share of fixed-odds betting tax revenue allocated to Brazil’s public health system during a public hearing in the Chamber of Deputies. The system currently receives 1% of online gambling revenue; Moraes argued that a larger allocation should fund prevention and treatment related to gambling problems.
A higher allocation would change how betting tax revenue is divided between public health and other uses.
