To qualify for reduced rates in the Tax on Gaming Activities, a taxpayer must have fiscal residence and real presence in Ceuta or Melilla

An online gaming company based in Malta asks whether establishing operations in Ceuta would allow access to the Gaming Activities Tax reduction. The DGT explains that two conditions must be met: fiscal residence and real presence in the territory.

The question raised

Question posed: Whether the presence of the entity in proposed Ceuta will determine that the entity meets the requirements to apply the tax relief provided for in paragraph 2 of Article 48.7 of Law 13/2011, of 27 May, regulating gambling.

The DGT's ruling

The application of reduced rates requires that the operator has tax residence and is actually established in Ceuta or Melilla. For actual establishment, reasonable criteria are considered: that more than 50% of the workforce and the wage bill are at the local headquarters, and that intra-group services do not exceed 50% of the total costs. Nevertheless, establishment is a matter of fact that the Administration must assess in each case.
