Mexico – New tax regime will bring investment says AIEJA
By Phil - 22 marzo 2019
The President of the Mexican Gaming Association (AIEJA) Miguel Angel Ochoa Sanchez has reiterated his support for new rules which would change taxes on the industry in Mexico.
Mr. Ochoa said that new taxes at a federal level would lead to more certainty for national and foreign investors which will in turn lead to greater foreign investment and more jobs.
“Le tre proposte avanzate dal Movimento Rigenerazione Nazionale (MORENA) alla Camera e al Senato ci piacciono perché è una cosa che chiediamo da più di dieci anni, visto che attualmente esistono tre regimi fiscali per il settore: uno viene addebitato dal governo a livello federale, un altro a livello statale e un terzo tramite i comuni", ha detto in un'intervista al servizio di notizie locale Notimex. Ha detto che queste accuse hanno generato molta confusione e incertezza poiché ogni stato riscuote le proprie tasse. Inoltre le tasse sul settore sono aumentate significativamente a livello locale dove le autorità locali e i governi municipali “stanno inventando tasse che non esistono nemmeno a livello globale”
The new taxes would give more control to the federal government which in turn would reap a much more significant amount of taxes. “The three proposals speak of establishing a more appropriate regime for the sector, none of the three defines the how but what it does define is giving a special regime to the sector . . . the three proposals eliminate the collection of taxes to the states and to the municipalities, the whole federation charges and distributes a small percentage to the states and municipalities,” he said.
Mr. Ochoa said the industry wanted an even playing field and, that they be charged fairly, since that “would generate greater certainty to domestic and foreign investors when it comes to knowing clearly how much they will pay in taxes when they decide to enter this sector.”
Mr. Ochoa went onto say that the taxes set on a local level “break the stability of the investment, they create uncertainty and that prevents strong investments from coming to the national economy in this sector,” he said.
He also argued that by increasing certainty when it came to investment, the number of gambling establishments could double during the current Presidential term especially as gambling becomes more popular as an entertainment option.
I senatori appartenenti al partito di sinistra Movimento di Rigenerazione Nazionale (MORENA) hanno presentato un'iniziativa per aumentare le tasse sul gioco d'azzardo e modificare le regole del gioco d'azzardo online. La nuova legge cerca anche di dare al governo centrale maggiore voce in capitolo quando si tratta di stabilire le aliquote fiscali sul settore.
