Allocation and causes of the decline
The text states that part of the regional decline is due to the shift of on-premises activity to the online environment, whose taxation is managed at the state level. The communication notes no expected changes to the regulatory rules for betting or to the tax legislation applicable to bingo, gaming machines and casinos, in force since 2024. See the regulatory detail in [regulation](/regulation) if you need the referenced legal framework.
Tax reliefs included
The project includes €1.667 million in tax reliefs linked to the retention of operator staff. Of that amount, €1.551 million corresponds to the reduced 15% rate applied to electronic bingo halls and €116,000 are fiscal incentives aimed at casinos. The document also notes exemptions and smaller benefits not quantified because their administrative cost exceeds the estimated economic impact; among these is the exemption for token games and some raffles and tombolas without profit motive with prizes below €3,000.
The figures form part of the draft regional budget for 2027 and are subject to the processing and approval of the autonomous accounts.
