Ukraine Gambling Tax Bill Fails to Pass Through Rada — Sent for Second Reading

Despite the latest amendments, the bill has yet to gain the required support for it to be passed into law.

The committee’s arguments held some water with representatives as the bill narrowly failed to pass following a vote of 217-59 with 55 members abstaining. This meant that the bill fell just nine votes short of the minimum 226 votes required for approval. However, a second vote saw lawmakers vote in favor  of sending the bill for a second reading by a margin of 229-58.

This gives supporters hope that legislation can be passed with some further amendments.
