Decree 2106 of 2019. The congress of the public republic on November 22, decree 2106 of 2019 through which I grant the National Government extraordinary powers to simplify or suppress or reform unnecessary procedures, processes and procedures that existed in the public administration.
Article 51 should be studied very thoroughly that although it does not talk about localized games, it deals with the provisional liquidation, which experts say may later be counterproductive for the gambling industry. Coljuegos is not given a deadline to issue the conditions for the suggested liquidation, which will aggravate the crisis in the sector and does not reveal in the short term an application of the PND.
In such a way, and specifying the gambling industry, these are the points that interest the aforementioned act, where there is also talk about independent betting placers:
ARTICLE 55: regime of the setter, destination of the parafiscal contribution of art. 56 law 643 of 2001 and registration The special regime of permanent bettors is maintained as enshrined in Law 50 of 1990 and the parafiscal contribution of art. 56 of Law 643 of 2001, which will be used to cover the old-age protection of independent underwriters through the creation of an individual Periodic Economic Benefits-Beps account.
Therefore, the concessionaire must consign Colpensiones in the individual account of the independent underwriter the 1% that retains it from its sale, and 3% of the exploitation rights generated by that sale.
However, placers who earn more than a monthly legal minimum wage are not accepted in Beps, in this case, they must be in the contributory regime of the social security system.
Now for Localized Games, this is the decree:
ARTICLE 56: liquidation of elements of gambling (located/ Slots) For this article the decree establishes that the operators of gambling establishments must make the declaration, liquidation and payment of the monthly exploitation rights in the terms provided in article 59 of the PND.
However, it also establishes that if any authorized element (Slots) does not meet at least one of the conditions provided for in the same article, this element must be declared, settled and paid individually with the rates previously stipulated, that is, the provided in article 34 of Law 643 of 2001.
On the other hand, the suggested settlements that show negative values will be equal to zero, that is to say that there will be no balances in favor of the operators for liquidation of exploitation rights for the following month.
However, the decree in question also refers to permanent bets, which are explained below:
ARTICLE 57: Express revocation of the advance. The advance conceived as an accelerated mechanism for payment of exploitation rights described in article 23 of Law 643 of 2001 ceases to apply. The exploitation rights (12% of your gross income) will be settled due month as it happens in all the modalities of game.
