Pauderney Avelino proposes 25% tax on Brazilian online betting GGR
Federal deputy Pauderney Avelino introduced a bill in Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies to raise the tax on sports betting and online gaming GGR from 12% to 25%. The proposal allocates 6% of revenue to social security, while 19% would retain existing allocations. The National Association of Games and Lotteries criticised the proposals, warning that higher taxes could deter investment and drive players to unlicensed platforms.
Operators would face a proposed increase in the tax rate applied to online betting and gaming GGR.
