The new exchange will be ring-fenced for Italians only accordingly with the rules in Italy and they will be paying 20% tax on all the commission charged.
The launch was made after being approved by Agenzie delle Dogane e dei Monopoli, who did in-depth testing of everything. Societa Generale d’Informatico, which is the information and communications technology administration in Italy also approved the platform and Betfair had no remarks.
