Dutch coalition agreement proposes gambling tax rise to 37.8%
The four parties negotiating to form the Netherlands’ coalition government agreed to a proposed structural increase in gambling tax, according to the report. The plan would raise the rate from 30.5% to 37.8%, increasing tax revenue by €202m on a structural basis; the agreement still required approval by the parties’ parliamentary groups.
The proposed rate increase could raise gambling operators’ tax costs if the coalition agreement is approved.
