“If the retail sector, after 20 years of comparisons and clashes, has finally clarified a whole series of positions, the online sector is completely devoid of this regulation. If we had to think about facing another 10 years of litigation it would truly be a tragedy for the company. Again as the Study Center of which I am part, which is an independent observatory that is aimed not only at operators but also at institutions, we are developing this new document on VAT indications on online matters taking them from the terrestrial one. Article 10, at number 6, exempts all public gaming collection activities carried out by concessionaires, at number 9 it also extends the exemption to mandate, procurement and intermediation activities, obviously intermediation in commercial terms. Then they told us that all operations carried out by the dealer and by its third parties are exempt and must be considered necessary and independent. Skins, PVRs, agents, are all subjects who can fall within that exemption chain, the important thing is that there is a contract with the dealer, that they are remunerated in the collection drawer and we remove the phrase "including VAT if due" from the contracts ” or “in case of VAT application”. If we write it in the contracts we give an assist to the Agency and then trigger another verification mechanism. I have followed more than 200 tax commissions on land, I wouldn't want the same thing to happen online. The commitment is to reopen a discussion with the central management as we did in 2014 on the occasion of the circular on amusement arcades and billiards, to be able to also give the online world the classification and exemption of all third parties in charge. If we want to bring together small dealers, let's also give them this opportunity."
