Russian finance ministry proposes 30% tax on online casino profits
Russia’s Ministry of Finance has proposed regulating and taxing online casinos rather than blocking them, with an annual tax of 30% on operators’ profits after prizes paid to players are deducted. The proposal faces opposition, while parliamentarians approved a separate bill to speed up blocking orders against irregular websites. The ministry proposal’s approval status was not stated.
The proposal could establish a tax and regulatory framework for online casino operators in Russia.
