They argue the tax is a <strong>discriminatory burden<\/strong> that distorts competition and threatens the licenced betting market\u2019s sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Decree 1644, ISC applies to every bet made on Peruvian platforms. Local operators are expected to absorb the cost, while foreign-registered bookmakers may pass it directly to players\u2014an asymmetry that domestic firms say is unconstitutional under Peru\u2019s principle of <strong>tax equality<\/strong>. They also highlight that ISC applies to promotional bonuses\u2014funds that operators don\u2019t actually collect\u2014making it effectively a \u201ctax on ghost money.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tax lawyers widely criticize the scheme as <strong>overreaching<\/strong>. They claim the ISC was drafted hastily, without properly defining taxable events or ensuring a fair implementation timeline. The rushed nature of the decree has created uncertainty for firms investing in compliance systems and platform upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/landing\/multigame-link\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1-300x102.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1-768x261.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) and Peru\u2019s tax authority (SUNAT) have already collected millions of soles from ISC since February. The government says the revenue supports public services and aligns with anti-gambling addiction measures. But operators warn that the immediate <strong>cashflow impact<\/strong> could force smaller firms out, driving players toward offshore, unregulated markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Parliament, legislators are considering a technical amendment (\u201caut\u00f3grafa de ley\u201d) to align ISC rules, exempt promotional funds, and ensure equitable treatment for all operators. This must be approved soon, or ongoing amparos could halt ISC collection entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peru now stands at a critical inflection point: uphold fiscal innovation with equitable rules\u2014or risk destabilizing its rapidly growing iGaming sector. The outcome of this legal battle could define the competitive landscape for online betting in Peru for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They argue the tax is a discriminatory burden that distorts competition and threatens the licenced betting market\u2019s sustainability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12772,"menu_order":104,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[1307,105,1218,4866],"class_list":["post-12771","gambling","type-gambling","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","tag-peru","tag-sports-betting","tag-tax","tag-vat","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
