| Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane said Wednesday that she expected to receive the Corbett administration's revised contract to privatize the Pennsylvania Lottery any day now - but signaled that she likely will not approve the proposal unless the legislature gets to sign off. "They would have to vote on it just like any other privatization deal, and also, they would have to change the gaming rules," Kane said. She added that she had seen no sign that the legislature would be given such a role. |
| PGRI Note: At issue is the authority of the UK government to impose taxes on i-gaming operators based outside of the UK. Malta, Gibraltar, and others charge 1% or 2% tax. So it would be devastating to the basic business government-gaming model if the European Union Commission were to deny the U.K. the right to determine the tax rate that it wants to charge, The European Commission has not rendered a decision on a complaint filed by the Maltese gaming regulatory body. It appears that the default in the case of no decision from the EC is that the U.K. can continue to charge the higher tax rate as it wishes. Further it appears that the E.C. has no issues against UK’s proposed imposition of licensing requirements and Place of Consumption (POC) tax among the Internet gambling operators |
