President Ilir Meta, turned down the decree of the law on gambling taxation . Reasoning, the presidency begins with explaining why the change of law will bring tax cuts for these businesses.
If, with existing law, gambling businesses are taxed on the total turnover, after the change of the law, they will only be taxed for “gross profits”.
Said that, the head of state, Ilir Meta underlines that the law came without arguments.
Another reason for non-defamation, according to Meta, is social objectives provided for in Article 59 of the Constitution. The gambling industry adds negative phenomena that affect the family, the President recalls.
In his reasoning, Meta also mentions the risk of massive spread of gambling, social dramas, and family conflicts that have been caused by participation in gambling.
This is the second law that the head of state returns to the majority in a few days. The president did not even enact the law that paves the way for the project for the New National Theater building./tvklan.al
