Equador – Tribunal aprova imposto sobre apostas esportivas
By James - 26 de junho de 2023
A tribunal constitucional do Equador has approved new taxes on sports betting. The reforms are part of a much wider tax reform bill that includes tax cuts for most families.
The court had to endorse or reject two decrees signed by President Guillermo Lasso after he disbanded the National Assembly after facing a vote that could have ousted him from office. Opposition members accuse him of turning a blind eye to embezzlement. The conservative leader says that his accusers lack evidence. The measure has never before used before and allows the president to rule by decree until new elections can be held.
While the constitutional court rejected another decree that would have promoted the opening of free trade zones it did approve Lasso’s tax reform bill according to local news outlet Telam.
Quando se trata de apostas desportivas a regra estabelece que as plataformas de apostas desportivas devem pagar uma taxa de 15% sobre o GGR. Além disso, os operadores serão responsáveis por impor uma retenção na fonte de 15% sobre os ganhos dos jogadores. Se uma aposta for feita através de uma operadora que não resida no Equador, o jogador deverá assumir 15% do imposto sobre o valor da sua aposta no momento de realizá-la. Pelo menos 26 sites de apostas esportivas operam no país, de acordo com a administração fiscal do Equador.
