According to the Ministry of Economy, all four together account for less than 1% of total tax revenue but are seen as disproportionately harmful to formal business activity and capital formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/mve-ads\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"727\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/impactful-accelerate-your-brand-with-mundovideo-ads.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/impactful-accelerate-your-brand-with-mundovideo-ads.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/impactful-accelerate-your-brand-with-mundovideo-ads-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/impactful-accelerate-your-brand-with-mundovideo-ads-768x558.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/mve-ads\/?lang=en\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The move comes alongside a planned 30% cut in public spending for the 2026 budget, described by the administration as a necessary \u201cshock therapy\u201d to address a persistent fiscal deficit and chronic shortages of foreign currency. The government is also seeking several billion dollars in new financing from multilateral lenders to stabilise the economy and restore confidence among investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the gambling sector, the immediate fiscal impact of scrapping the tax is expected to be modest. Bolivia\u2019s regulated market is small, with just one licensed land-based casino and a limited legal framework for betting and online gaming. Much of the country\u2019s gambling activity still occurs through unlicensed venues or offshore operators. However, industry observers say the reform sends a clear signal that the government is open to modernising its approach to the sector, potentially paving the way for future regulation of online gambling and a more competitive environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/colombian-gambling-news\/bolivia-intensifies-raids-on-illegal-gambling-dens-as-whatsapp-casinos-spread-nationwide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bolivia intensifies raids on illegal gambling dens as WhatsApp casinos spread nationwide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The package of tax cuts now moves to Congress, where it will need legislative approval. If passed, Bolivia would become one of the few Latin American countries to simultaneously abolish both a wealth tax and a dedicated gambling tax, marking a sharp break from the previous administration\u2019s more interventionist model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bolivia plans to scrap its wealth and gambling taxes, cut public spending and simplify its fiscal system in a pro-market shift aimed at attracting investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14716,"menu_order":22,"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":[4808,57,105,1218],"class_list":{"0":"post-14715","1":"gambling","2":"type-gambling","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"tag-bolivia","8":"tag-casinos","9":"tag-sports-betting","10":"tag-tax","11":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
