“An export competition can be many things and can be held in various places, consequently taxation must be managed differently. I can talk about the taxation of sporting events from the point of view of sport, but these are not always attributable to sporting events. Currently, a legislator who does not evaluate the potential of tools such as Twitch has not understood what is being done today. Kids who practice esports don't want to avoid paying taxes, they want to be in compliance and contribute to Italy's economy. It's fair to say that esports is not an extraterrestrial world."
He said so Paolo Rendina, tax lawyer of the Turin Court, member of the sports and third sector working group at the Ministry of Labor and Social Policies, national manager of sports consultant training, speaking in Lecce at the University of Salento at the conference "International taxation, between sport, esports and gaming”.
