Federal deputy Carlos Zarattini presented a report on Brazil’s Provisional Measure 1.303 on 24 September, proposing an increase in the tax rate on fixed-odds betting from 12% to 18%. The additional six percentage points would fund health measures through the social security system; the special committee was due to review the measure by 30 September before votes in both houses of Congress.
