Hasartmängumaksu seaduse viga tekib mitme seaduse korraga menetlemisest

The Gambling Tax Law error arises from the simultaneous processing of multiple laws

Tanel Tein (Eesti 200) ütleb, et esse sattus viga, sest korraga menetleti nelja erinevat seadust. See viga vabastas maksustamise alt.

Tanel Tein on esitanud Riigikogus eelnõu, mis parandab selle vea ja taastab selguse kaughasartmängude maksustamisel. See aitab vältida olukorda, kus riik ja kultuuri ning spordi valdkond jäävad rahast ilma.

Tein rääkis, et viga tekks, sest nelja seaduse korraga muutmise tõttu ei pannud keegi tähele t, mis põhjustas segadust. See sõna ei olnud probleemiks esimesel lugemisel, mistõttu ei uuritud seda hiljem.

Praegu töötatakse selle parandamise kallal, et tagada, et kasiinod maksavad oma maksud ja riik saab vajalikud rahad. Tein loodab, et see lahendus leiab kiiresti tee ning kultuuri ja spordi valdkond saab vajalikku rahastust.

Member of the Riigikogu Tanel Tein (Eesti 200) says that an error occurred in the gambling tax law because four different laws were processed simultaneously. This error exempted providers of remote gambling from taxation.

Tanel Tein has submitted a bill to the Riigikogu that will correct this error and restore clarity in the taxation of remote gambling. This will help avoid a situation where the state and the fields of culture and sports are left without funding.

Tein explained that the error arose because, due to the simultaneous amendment of four laws, no one paid attention to the wording, which caused confusion. This wording was not a problem during the first reading, which is why it was not investigated later.

Currently, work is being done to correct this issue to ensure that casinos pay their taxes and the state receives the necessary funds. Tein hopes that this solution will quickly find its way, and the fields of culture and sports will receive the necessary funding.
