Marcos considers 10% tax or ban on Philippine online gambling
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr is reviewing two congressional proposals on online gambling, one imposing a 10% tax on digital gambling revenues and the other banning digital gambling platforms. The tax bill would direct proceeds to addiction prevention and treatment services; Marcos would not oppose taxation if studies support it, spokesperson Claire Castro said.
The proposals could impose a new tax, advertising and payment restrictions, age limits or a ban on digital gambling operators in the Philippines.
