Romanian government proposes local control over gambling venue licences and taxes
Romania’s coalition government is considering proposals that would let local authorities decide whether to license gambling venues, set their locations and impose an annual local gambling tax. Development minister Cseke Attila said local governments would have freedom to set the tax rate, with no central limit, and retain the revenue; the measures remain proposals.
Local licensing and tax powers could give operators different venue rules and tax rates across Romanian jurisdictions.
