Deputies reduce taxes on electronic lotteries in the Dominican Republic

Bill seeks to reduce tax debts for betting operators The Chamber of Deputies approved a bill that establishes a special discount regime for the tax debts of gambling operators in the Dominican Republic. This measure, contemplated in article 192 of the initiative, allows businesses in the sector to regularize their accumulated tax obligations up to December 2025 under preferential conditions. Although the proposal does not use terms such as "forgiveness," experts point out that the scope of these benefits could significantly reduce the amounts owed to the State. The special regime will be coordinated by the General Directorate of Gambling (DGJA), the Ministry of Finance, and the General Directorate of Internal Taxes (DGII), based on Law No. 30-26. The debate has gained momentum due to the participation of eight legislators with declared interests in the betting and lottery sector. While no irregularity has been proven, the presence of congressmen linked to these companies in the legislative process raises questions about potential conflicts of interest. The project also introduces significant changes to the market, such as the reduction of tax rates for electronic lotteries and a ten-year ban on the issuance of new licenses, which would favor those who manage to regularize themselves under the new registry. Given this scenario, various sectors are demanding greater transparency regarding who drafted the controversial article 192, the actual fiscal impact for the State, and the identity of the final beneficiaries of these tax facilities.
