Uganda casino operators seek retention of 30% GGR tax
Uganda Gaming Operators Association is asking policymakers to keep the 30% gross gaming revenue tax for casinos rather than apply the recently introduced 15% tax on player winnings. The association says tracking taxable wins in land-based venues would require additional systems and warns that the policy could affect jobs, businesses and government revenue; it estimates more than 2,500 jobs could be lost.
