Tanzania lowers casino tax in Gaming Act amendment

The Tanzanian government has amended the country's Gaming Act to reduce casino tax from 20% to 15%.

The amendment was announced today (29 July) and pertains to Part 5, Section 31A of the Tanzanian Gaming Act. There was no reason given for the change.

In addition, the government brought in an amendment to the sports betting tax section set out in the Act relating to how betting tax revenue may be spend. The Act now includes a condition that 5% of the tax must be deposited into the Sports Development Fund, where it will go toward supporting local sporting organisations.
