“Behind Esports there is a huge economy, which is also why the sector must be regulated. For correct application of the rules it is important to verify, a priori, the tax residence and the relevant center of vital interests. In the absence of an agreement between the different countries it is possible to suffer double taxation. Gamers can perform occasional or regular activities. Image rights are attracted into the determination of the main income. If the legislator does not take into account the issue of taxation, the sector will continue to expand, but not in Italy".
The doctor said it Celestino Buttons, national president of Ancot and national vice president of CNA, member of the National Sports Observatory and of the National Observatory on Sports Work - Department for Sport at the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, speaking in Lecce at the University of Salento at the conference "La international taxation, between sports, esports and gaming".
