Pressure is mounting on Poland’s Ministry of Finance to undertake a review of its gambling tax structure, revitalising income generated from licensed bookmakers.

A cross-party Sejm (lower parliament) committee representing ‘Polish consumers and entrepreneurship’, had announced that it has submitted a proposal advising the Ministry “to abandon the 12% turnover tax applied to sports betting.”

The Committee has advised the Ministry to adopt a GGR tax rate, favoured by other EU member states to tax gambling services.

From 2011-to-2016 Poland operated a liberalised online gambling marketplace. However, the sector would be radically overhauled by the PiS (Law-&-Justice) Government of Andrzej Duda.
