Lawyer questions legality of Asturias bingo prize tax

Carlos Lalanda, founding partner of Loyra Abogados, questioned the legality of Asturias' tax on bingo prizes in an analysis, according to the report. Approved in 1992, the tax is set at 10% of prizes and is collected by operators acting in place of taxpayers. Lalanda argued that it may conflict with the prohibition on double taxation; the material describes no court ruling on the issue.
