- Colombian gambling operators have criticized the government’s decision to maintain a 19% VAT on online gambling as part of a tax reform bill. Fecoljuegos argues that the tax is based on a misunderstanding of online gambling stakes, as deposits are recycled and do not constitute added value. They claim the tax is unsustainable and could lead to reduced competitiveness and increased illegal activities. Asojuegos warns the measure could decrease contributions to healthcare and drive users to unregulated platforms. They are open to discussions with the government to find a sustainable solution.
