Brazilian government discusses redirecting betting tax revenue to public security
Brazil's federal government is negotiating a proposal to direct part of sports-betting tax revenue to public security, the report said. Congressman Pedro Uczai said the additional allocation could raise R$6bn to R$7bn annually, split equally between state governments and the federal government. The proposal's inclusion in the public-security constitutional amendment remains undecided.
A change could redirect betting-tax proceeds between public-security budgets and existing social-security allocations.
