(Brasilia).- The Official Gazette of the Union (DOU) published on Wednesday 22 the promulgation of the provisions vetoed by the President of the Republic in Law 14.790/2023, which deals with the fixed-odds betting lottery.
By overriding President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's vetoes, the National Congress decreed the validity of the provision defining that income tax will be levied on the total betting result of each year, and not on each bet individually.
In addition, income tax on sports betting will be levied annually, only on net winnings exceeding the value of the first tax exemption band.

Provides for the lottery modality known as fixed betting; amends Laws No. 5,768, of 20 December 1971, and No. 13,756, of 12 December 2018, and Provisional Measure No. 2,158-35, of 24 August 2001; repeals provisions of Decree-Law No. 204, of 27 February 1967; and enacts other provisions.
