30 Sep 2008Interestingly, but not having passed the planned online casino gambling tax legislation, the Polish government is already looking for the ways to spend the revenue from taxing the industry.
It must be noted that the European gambling market is getting more and more liberalized, since lots of governments have understood that it’s better to join the industry rather than being helpless in fighting it.
With no regulation in place to address online casinos, some Polish officials are thinking of using industry’s tax revenue to fund a new football stadium and other social programs and projects to help Polish citizens. Jacek Kapica, the Deputy Minister of Finance in Poland, is one of the officials actively supporting the new tax legislation.
According to government’s opinion, the planned tax rate of 10% is thought to be reasonable and shouldn’t deter gambling companies to continue operating in the Polish gambling market.
If passed as it is, the new tax legislation will remain in effect until 2015.
