Daily “emerge in the surface” continuously more articles in policies for the most part newspapers that concern the question of much afflicted branch of online l`]ucky games.
In one of them therefore, in the yesterday's Sunday leaf of new\]spaper NATION, Costas Nikolaidis sketches out affair ` online gambling' pointing out the failure of \]Greek government he establishes a firm legislative frame that will fill the criteria of ` of Greek reality'.
Analytically his article of Kostas Nikolaidi in ethnos.gr:
The decision of Ministry of Finance to impose exhaustive tax imposition in the companies that wish they are activated legally in our country, has led to impasse the pr]\ocess of regulation of market depriving income from the state
The hour where the government ran in order to she covers “black h\]oles” in the budget receiving hard meters, it could, if functioned rightly also effective the legal frame for the bet, it has important income. How many?
A feasible objective would be firstly the 120 with 150 millions of Eu\]ros with the prospect to increase itself enough as soon as they enter in the “game” the poker an\d the casino. And all these only from the diadiktyako gambling, without we calculate that is to say\] the fruits, arithmopaichnida and the bet of OPAP, the hippodrome and the land casinos! \]
For more from 10 years takes place almost in all Europe a continuous conflict between the stoichimatika monopolies of member states and the internatio\]nal providers diadiktyakoy stoichimatismoy. \]
Initially the men monopolies wanted safeguard their interests through reasonable “potapagoreysis”, the online companies they offer their services without extra cost based on the beginning of free trading of goods and services in the OJ.
After a lot of episo\]des, the two sides occupied that they cannot have him to all. The states conceived that free \]medium as the Internet you cannot him block - you can however regulations and removals income. Th\]e diadiktyakes companies with their line accepted that she will be supposed they overwhelm taxes \]in the countries where they are activated and not only in the one that is found their their seat or servers.
Thus, the old in the trick\] England and Austria (two countries that tax the diadiktyako bet for a lot of years), followed from 2007 and later Italy, France and utmostly Spain and Denmark, with Germany as all show it follows in the dance of regulation of market diadiktyakon paignion.
Discords
Our country after roughly \]one decade of passive attitude, delays and palinodes, made the passed summertime, in the frames of bill that were voted in August 2011, the first step for the regulation of market establishing them basic rules of game and announcing in advance the enactment of process of awarding of vacations in the\] very near future.
From this first step they could\] not of course be absent the discords after the drawing which it worked out the Ministry of Fina\]nce (the previous leadership) it contained excessive provisions as the tax imposition of height 30% on the mixed income of companies (is enough no one thinks that today internationally this companies “runs” with profitability little more from 20% annually) and the imposition of tax 10% in the profits of player (something that if it is applied in combination with the previous parameter it leads with mathematic precision to a product disadvantageous for the player-consumer, to progressive scorn of\] bet to legal level but at the same time and to the gigantosi the black and always duty-free market)\.
Besides, the Ministry of Finance had the last months much more serious priorities than the regulation of diadiktyakoy gambling, something that in combination with the complex character of object contributed so that is not made particular progress regarding the configuration of process of awarding of vacations from the passed summe\rtime that was voted law (4002-2011).
Himself the chairman of Committee of Monitoring Paignion, Ey. Giannakopoylos, who is called to play the most important role in this process, it has admitted speaking in factors of market that very with difficulty will exist some develo\]pment before the summertime 2012.
Recognizing this weakness, in order to gives a solution in the interval (until becomes action the eminent process of awarding of vacations) the ministry advanced passed December in the publication of decision basei which the interested companies were called in order to they can be advertized and activate itself legally in our country ypachthoyn in arrangement of transient period.
Unfortunately nor here were avoided the exaggerations and the errors from the side of ministry, obviously under the pressure for direct income.
The country us called the companies to overwhelm in hindsight 30% from their mixed income from Greece for 2010 and 2011 (that is to say more from that they had removed) plus the 10% from the gained bets of players in 2011 (that however him had not retained after did not function under this arrangement)!
Bwin, Betfair, William Hill, the Bet365\]\], Betclic, Unibet, Betsson and remainder big the market initially ignored this decision and were not included in the arrangement of transient period.
En constantly they resorted in the Council of Territory accusing the Greek government, inter alia, on the imposition anticonstitutional and not compatible with the requirements of OJ of tax obligations and on favourable treatment of OPAP.
Ladbrokes was the alone big “player” that yes men turned the back in the Greek government, made him however withdrawing from the Greek market, informing her members for this with relative statement.
Cloak of legality \]
Who companies in\]cluded themselves in this transient arrangement? As can no one be also informed from the official statement of Ministry of Finance, the companies that submitted successfully dikaiologitika were been 24. From them most are internationally unknown, while also the 3-4 acquaintances are co\]mpanies that at the past had not been activated particularly in our country.
Those that profited are] the outlaws mpoyk, that continue offering “black” bet with vouchers, while said atzentides they take bet and “they throw” in the platforms that in between rented, making thus a “legal” environment that however actually deceits the state.
They in deed reached in\] point certain companies to advertize atzentides with registrations in stoichimatika forms (is pr\ohibited by the law, with the most explicit way, anyone functions as intermediaries) and certain to set up Internet of coffee and shops with fruits bringing the certifications of Ministry of Finance in order to shows their legality, paroti actually cannot offer no other game minus the athl\]etic bet and this strictly in the Internet, after is not allowed basei the law other activity in poker or ca\sino.\]\]
It would have sure interest we learn which sum overwhelmed in hindsight for 2010 and 2011 and the 24 companies together. Basei estimates, in the better case it will reach the six digits, the moment where the ministry was brought that it expected in hundreds millions, paroti in the past has not been applied (in order to we do not say it is attempted) in no other country of Europe with success retrospective tax imposition of diadiktyakoy gambling.
