20%? Is this even real ? Most of the companies not related to gambling pay lower than 10% but not the same in Kenya when it comes to the sports gambling. Now the biggest football clubs have joined hands to oppose this rule.
It's such a bad time to implement it but you can't blamer a government that wants to have money coming in times of pandemic, but one of their reasons to prohibit people from gambling is a bad one, if they don't want people to gamble in their country they should ban gambling, they really want to justify their additional taxes to these gambling companies, which is also suffering from this pandemic.
After all, the government should make other policies in this pandemic era regarding tax payments, in my country tax payments can be delayed during this pandemic and of course this policy is very good for the people's economy. At least there are loosened rules regarding taxes during the pandemic because after all, the government cannot only rely on income from taxes because there are still many from other sectors that can at least be income.
The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic that are still attacking the whole world, of course, bring the situation in two crises at once, namely the economy and health, and of course the government must really be able to take policies as an effort to reduce the risk of the spread of covid-19 which is increasingly widespread today so that the health impact of and the economy can be minimized, and it can be said that the current pandemic is of course very draining on the state budget and we know now that the main sectors that have been the state's income have also been greatly affected by covid, such as customs, taxes, mining and non-tax revenues, So this situation makes the country has a very heavy burden.
