The single tax levy evaded by a cultural association in Taranto in relation to the illicit use of "slot machines" capable of paying players cash winnings is equal to approximately 3 million euros.
This is the summary of some inspection activities carried out by the Fiamme Gialle of the Economic and Financial Police Unit of Taranto to combat illegal and irregular gaming. The checks in question represent the development, on a fiscal level, of various service operations conducted by the Department which led to the identification and seizure of 11 amusement and entertainment machines not connected to the telematic network of the Customs and Monopolies Agency and to reporting 1 person to the competent Authority.
The Ionian financiers selected the subjects involved in the investigations, owners of private clubs, betting shops and cultural associations in the capital, cross-referencing the information recorded in the various available databases with that acquired during economic control services of the territory or through specific risk analysis.
Having reconstructed the overall volume of gambling and quantified the taxable base subtracted from taxation at over 12 million euros, the Tarantine Fiamme Gialle found that a Taranto cultural association had evaded the single tax levy for an amount of approximately 3 million EUR.
The single tax levy, established in our regulations in 2003, is a tax that weighs on the "owners" of amusement machines and gadgets and is commensurate with the sums "played" and recorded on the relative meters.
The controls of the financiers continue in order to prevent and repress all forms of illegality and abusive practices in the gaming sector, including "online" ones.
The Guardia di Finanza carries out inspections to protect legal gaming in full and complete autonomy and also holds, on an exclusive basis, the task of supervising, for anti-money laundering purposes, distributors and gaming operators.
In the public gaming sector, the Corps protects players from illegal, unsafe and unsecured gaming proposals, safeguarding the weakest groups, first and foremost minors.
