Coljuegos. The salvation of the health programs and the increase of the sources of employment will come when the National Government calls all the industrialists of gambling to be legalized, by means of the implantation of a real, true and sustained obligation in certain sales .
Entrepreneurs should not be taxed with taxes, income, contributions and others, without the sales and profits generated by the tax base.
Law 10 of 1990, which established the rentier discretion of gambling, as a monopoly of the nation, regulations that companies had to pay 14 percent of the profits for the maintenance of health services. This rule of the year 1990, served as the basis for the birth of article 336 of the National Constitution, which authorized the creation of the monopoly of the games at the head of the Nation, because they were prohibited since 1.927, with the Extraordinary Decree No. 1986 issued by the then President of the Republic, Miguel Abadía Méndez.
Localized games are the biggest contributors to the health of low-income Colombians, and these small entrepreneurs do not have the capacity to pay 30 percent of a minimum wage per machine, when they lose or do not sell enough to cover the tax, it is damaged or people do not play it.
The PND is the salvation of the gaming industry, because the merchant will pay a tax resulting from the sales of his commercial activity, that is, he will pay a tax resulting from a sale.
In Colombia we talk about 400 thousand illegal machines, and I think they are more, let's take this figure, because in 2009, ETESA, announced in the Accountability, that there were 78,000 legalized machines. And a pronouncement of the DIAN was also known, stating that for every legal machine, there were 4,5 and more illegal in the country, and contraband.
We know that with the 12 percent regulated in the PND, the vast majority of illegal entrepreneurs will seek ways to legalize before COLJUEGOS.
This is highly beneficial not only for COLJUEGOS, but for the generation of more jobs and higher revenues for health programs. If COLJUEGOS, with 82,000 authorized machines, raises 182,289 million pesos, with 400,000 legalized it will triple its income, and operating expenses will be saved for the control of illegality, because the legal entrepreneur will control unfair competition and the Prosecutor's Office will be responsible for the clandestine ones, because evasion is criminal.
The gambling industry, as defined by Law 643 of 2001, must “be determined by luck, or chance” (art.5 °). And be framed in its principles: “a. Prevalent social purpose. b. Transparency. c. Economic rationality in the operation. d. Linking income or health services. ”
With the tools of the National Development Plan, COLJUEGOS, you will have excellent social and economic profitability, which translates into increased employment in the regions and abundant resources to prevent the closure of hospitals, posts and health centers, the death walk of poor people.
COLJUEGOS is required to administer the monopoly, and that the National Superintendence of Health and the Attorney General's Office control, because Evasion is Criminal.
