Representative Angélica Casillas Martínez introduced a bill that seeks to establish a 10 percent tax on expenditures and 6 percent on the prizes received by gamblers in the state.
Mexico.- The parliamentary group of the National Action Party proposed creating a new tax related to betting through games and lotteries conducted in the Mexican state of Guanajuato.
Representative Angélica Casillas Martínez argued that the proposal, in addition to pursuing a fiscal purpose, is carried out with a public health and safety perspective, to balance economic and social interests.
Specifically, the initiative seeks to establish a tax of 10 percent on expenditures and 6 percent on the prizes that participants of gambling games in the state receive.
Angélica Casillas stated that it is not about prohibiting games and betting, but about establishing mechanisms to deter gamblers from falling into problematic gambling.
Then, the parliamentarian highlighted that a similar tax to the one in her project already exists in most Mexican states, except Guanajuato, which is why this federative unit must update to regulations that have already occurred in other parts of the country. Additionally, Casillas said that the tax constitutes a public law obligation and must be established by law, as well as being proportional and intended to cover public expenses.
According to the official, the exponential increase in the supply and demand of gambling and betting has led to the proliferation of cases of problematic gambling, so the establishment of this norm will help combat this situation.

Finally, she pointed out that the aim is to establish contributions with a social impact objective, in order to satisfy the extra-fiscal purpose of having a measure against gambling addiction, and to impact security conditions without pursuing a fiscal purpose.
