PANAMA - Gaming down by 13.5% in January
Panama’s National Institute of Statistics and census at the
General Comptroller of the Republic has reported growth in product manufacturing and services in 2015 in the Panamanian economy, which represents 5.8 percent growth in GPD, compared to the previous year.
In the same report, on the gaming sector, the Comptroller
stated that total gross gaming revenue had a negative variation of 13.5% in January 2016 compared to the same month in 2015. The fall in Panama gaming income is reflected in the decrease of taxes collected by the State in 2015, which had a negative difference of 14.4% over 2014 revenue, i.e. US$96.1 million against US$82.2 million last year. The biggest casualties were complete casino operations, where slot machines Class C showed a decline of 11.8%, while Gaming Tables revenue was down by 28.5%.
La baja en los ingresos de los casinos completos se debe al
impuesto de 5,5% que se creó para financiar el aumento a los jubilados. Este tributo comenzó a aplicarse en Panamá en el segundo trimestre de 2015 y se cobra cuando el jugador cambia sus fichas o monedas en la caja del centro de juegos y no sobre el dinero que se gana apostando. Es decir, a una persona que cambia 200 dólares, el local le retiene 11 dólares que luego deben ser transferidos al fisco.
Significativamente, el reporte del INEC, observa que hubo
incrementos en ingresos de juegos no afectados por el impuesto del 5,5%, como de las apuestas de eventos, deportivos que aumentaron en 1,6%, las salas de bingos con 0,9% y el hipódromo con 0,4%.
Full casinos’ low income is due to a 5.5% levy imposed by
the State to finance pension payment to retirees. This new tax was applied in Panama to full casinos in the second quarter of 2015 and is charged when the player cashes in any chips, tokens or credit tickets at the cage, whether it is winnings or not. A person changing US$200 at the cage will have US$11 retained, and this sum is then transferred to the Treasury.
Significantly, the INEC report notes that there were
increases in revenue from forms of gambling not affected by the new 5.5% tax - sports betting was up by 1.6%, bingo halls by 0.9%, and horse racing bets up by 0.4%.
