However, BOS, the industry organization representing these businesses, claims that this directly contradicts the government&#8217;s own objectives for the gambling market.

However, data from the industry group reveals that it has already fallen to 77%, and even lower for internet casinos. Their message is straightforward: if the government proceeds with this tax hike, they will witness a significant increase in illegal gambling. <\/p>\n<p>Hofstedt further noted that a Copenhagen Economics study pinpointed an optimal tax range for nations to adhere to, falling between 15% and 20%. &#8220;Exceeding 20% translates to diminished revenue through the designated channel and, as per the classic Laffer Curve theory, reduced tax income over an extended period.&#8221; He contends that no data suggests Sweden, in contrast to the years preceding its gambling market re-regulation, can currently stray from the recommended tax bracket without negatively impacting the authorized market. Hofstedt offered these remarks during an engagement on the iGaming NEXT: Online Gambling Industry podcast in October, prior to the government&#8217;s initial unveiling of its proposed tax strategy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swedens gaming sector is strongly opposing the government&#8217;s proposal to raise betting taxes.
