EU Parliament committee schedules discussion of proposed 1% gambling levy
The European Parliament’s Budget Committee is due to discuss a proposed gambling levy on 27 May, according to reports. The proposal, put forward by Romanian MEP Victor Negrescu, would apply a 1% charge to gambling revenue or turnover across the EU’s 27 member states. The discussion is not expected to produce legislation immediately.
The proposed EU levy could affect operators’ tax exposure, though the committee discussion is not expected to produce immediate legislation.
