Quartini criticises 2027 budget reliance on gambling revenue and LAN venue taxes

Regulation1 min read

During scrutiny of Italy’s 2027 budget bill, M5S deputy Andrea Quartini criticised its treatment of health prevention and poverty, and said the state continued to rely on gambling revenue. He also objected to increased tax burdens on LAN venues; the Social Affairs Committee approved its report proposal and sent it to the Budget Committee.

Italy’s 2027 budget bill would keep the state reliant on gambling revenue while raising taxes on LAN venues, according to M5S deputy Andrea Quartini.

Quartini also said the bill overlooked prevention in health and employment policies. He pointed to scientific and economic evidence indicating that every euro invested in prevention would save about 14 euros. He also found the bill inadequate in fighting poverty.

The bill covers the state’s budget forecast for 2027 and its multi-year budget for 2027 to 2029. The Chamber’s Social Affairs Committee approved a report proposal and sent it to the Budget Committee.
