One of the major issues in cross-border internet gambling is taxation of gambling services. The question arises of how to levy VAT and/or betting and gambling taxes on such gambling services in the country of destination. The article addresses this question and examines how VAT will be levied in an EU without borders for services. In addition a brief outline also looks at the way the Dutch betting and gambling tax deals with this phenomenon.

NSGC is now accepting proposals outlining presentation topics and conference session suggestions. Each session is approximately 60 minutes, which includes the introduction, presentation and time for questions and answers. Some presentation proposals will become part of a panel session, in which case each speaker will receive approximately 30 minutes to share their content.

The Conference focus is on responsible gambling and social responsibility within the gaming industry or in a broader context.

Presentations and sessions are encouraged to follow an interactive and discussion-based format. Presentations and sessions should provide attendees with information they can leave with and apply to their own work.

Content is broken into two streams: one that is industry-based and focused on responsible gambling and corporate social responsibility, and another that addresses community interests, research, education and prevention.

The overall goal of the two-day event is to ensure that every attendee leaves with new knowledge about responsible gambling and social responsibility within the industry, and beyond.

Deadline for submissions is Friday, March 19th, 2010.
