(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.
