Belgium
The Belgian government has confirmed that it will try to introduce a new tax on gambling in the next budget. The tax aims to raise an additional €75 million.
The tax is reported to be an additional 21%, but there are no details as yet on how it will be levied. The rate suggests that the tax may be imposed as a purchase tax, known in the EU as a Value Added Tax.
