A few days after being issued to the public, opponents of the development plan begin to emerge, which is not surprising, since the state accustomed several public entities to receive the amounts of money more than enough for their operation at the expense of the sustainability of the industries behind this money transfer.
Among these, is the president of the ANDI (National Association of Industrialists, the most representative economic guild of the Colombian productive platform. It is currently called the National Association of Businessmen of Colombia.), Bruce Mac Master, who described as surprising and worrying, the approval of the article in the National Development Plan (PND) that modifies taxes on games of luck and chance.
"We find the article that reduces the contributions to health by gambling inconvenient, it is a pity, because the health sector in our country is deeply underfunded, all the time we are working to find resources so that we can meet with the constitutional norm of giving health to Colombians, "said Mac Master.
He also argues that these articles should be the suffix of a much deeper analysis since according to him what he says is that the resources coming from gambling, "especially those related to slot machines, would lower their taxes, therefore contributing less to health "
However, what should be understood with this modification is the final understanding of an industry that was drowned with taxes leading to a decrease, and although in its initial stages this modification will bring a decrease in health contributions, as of that they adjust capes in the development of the industrial one, that is to say, as the union returns to resurge in its economic profitability it will be seen a growth in all the aspects, including the one that more worries to the public entities, the transfers to the Health.
