Brazilian Senate approves tax increases for betting companies
Brazil’s Senate approved complementary bill PLP 128/2025 on 17 December, raising the contribution rate for betting companies from 12% to 13% in 2026 and 15% in 2028. The bill also provides for shared tax liability for advertisers of unauthorised bets and financial institutions that continue serving them after formal notice; it now goes to the president for sanction.
Operators face a scheduled increase in the contribution rate, while some advertisers and financial institutions could share tax liability for unauthorised betting activity.
