Methodological aspects

The Directorate General of Taxation and Gambling is the body that is attributed competence for the undertaking of regulatory projects both in the taxation area and that of gambling. In the taxation area it produces forecasts of income from taxation, reports on the Government of Catalonia's tax benefits and economic studies for the development of taxation policies. In the gambling area, it grants the required authorisations for the management and exploitation of gambling and betting activities, produces gambling inspection plans and controls the inspection and technical administrative bodies.
