The Argentine Chamber of Deputies —the National Congress’ lower house— passed the National budget drafted by Economy Minister Martín Guzmán which included an increase (from 2 percent to 5 percent) in the current online gambling tax rate in 2021.
Economy Minister Martín Guzmán thanked the Congress for supporting his budget, which he considered a "key step in our journey: a nation that grows and that provides jobs and certainties."
"Our economy’s recovery with macroeconomic stability is our horizon and the budget, our tool; and the key element in our strategy."
