Key Insights
Starting July 2025, Armenia’s gambling tax regime will transition to a 5% turnover tax, replacing the previous system based on fixed annual fees. This change, part of the broader Armenia new tax code, aims to boost transparency and align the gambling sector with international standards.
The reform will impact all licensed gambling activities in the country, including land-based and online operations. In addition to the turnover tax, operators must comply with adjusted financial and reporting obligations, as well as stricter anti-money laundering controls. While the new system may increase costs for some companies, it offers a clearer and more scalable approach for long-term planning.
Changes to Armenia gambling fees will also influence licensing and renewal costs, making early preparation critical for continued market presence.
