The European Gaming and Amusement Federation has said that it is disappointed with the CJEU decision in relation to the Danish Gaming Duties Act, which applies a lower tax rate of 20 per cent for online gaming operators.
Commenting on the ruling, Euromat president Annette Kok said: “Today’s ruling fails to address whether discriminatory state aid, as proposed by the Danish law, is justified. We are disappointed that there remains a lack of legal certainty on this point.
“We believe that favouring online companies with lower tax rates will simply distort the marketplace in Europe at the expense of our already highly regulated and highly taxed members and the 250,000 European citizens they employ,” said Kok.
