Ecuador – Domstolen godkänner skatt på sportvadslagning
By James - 26 juni 2023
Smakämnen Ecuadors författningsdomstol 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.
När det gäller sportvadslagning fastställer regeln att sportspelplattformar måste betala en skatt på 15 % på GGR. Dessutom kommer operatörer att vara ansvariga för att införa en källskatt på 15 % på spelarvinster. Om ett spel placeras via en operatör som inte är bosatt i Ecuador, måste spelaren ta på sig 15 % av skatten på värdet av sitt spel vid tidpunkten för det. Minst 26 sportspelsajter verkar i landet enligt Ecuadors skattekontor.
