The deputies maintained the opinion of Federal Deputy Felipe Carreras (PSB-PE) on the report that legalizes casinos, bingos, jogo do bicho and online betting. Now, the proposal goes to the Senate for consideration.
The taxation on gaming was among the most controversial points of the vote. Of the highlights, one from PT wanted to increase Cide-Jogos from 17% to 30%.
Deputy Felipe Carreras defended the maintenance of the percentage proposed in the project, stating that it should allow the attraction of investments. In his demonstration, he said that “you cannot compare a kilo of rice with entertainment. We want to encourage the generation of jobs and income," he said.
Some deputies present, opposed to the activity of gaming, expressed themselves again to regret the approval of the project that legalizes the sector, but that some points of the Bill could be reformed to bring more benefits to specific sectors. Even with the arguments, they did not win any of the highlights.
