Argentine Deputy Natalia Zaracho introduced a bill aimed at strengthening the financial position of neighborhood clubs through increased tax burden on online betting. The initiative proposes the creation of a ‘Club Card’ designed to cover operational and infrastructure expenses for these social institutions.
Tiered tax structure
The bill contemplates a general tax rate of 10% on the net value of deposits on online betting platforms, with the possibility of reduction if there is local investment. However, the rate would increase significantly depending on the operator’s origin.
- 20% if a foreign operator is involved
- 30% if the operator is based in tax havens or low-tax jurisdictions
Distributive justice and social function
The deputy argues that the measure responds to a criterion of distributive justice, redirecting resources from a highly profitable activity toward organizations with a social function. According to the legislator, funds from online betting—an activity that particularly affects young people and vulnerable sectors—should support spaces for community support and development.
This proposal adds to the regional debate on online gaming regulation and the allocation of tax revenue generated by this rapidly growing industry across Latin America.
