In municipalities that carry out actions to promote tourism, the municipal council may institute a levy on the gross gaming revenue in casinos.
The maximum rate of levies operated by municipalities on the gross gaming revenue in casinos governed by the articles L. 321-1 et seq. of the Internal Security Code under the terms of the specifications of these establishments must not, under any circumstances, exceed 15%.
These levies apply to the total sum of the components of the gross gaming revenue mentioned in Article L. 2333-55-1, less 25% and, where applicable, the additional allowance mentioned in I of Article 34 of the Amending Finance Act for 1995 (no. 95-1347 of 30 December 1995).
When the rate of the municipal levy added to the rate of the State levy on the sum of the components of the gross gaming revenue mentioned in 1°, 2° and 3° of Article L. 2333-55-1 exceeds 83.5%, the rate of the State levy is reduced so that the total of the two levies is 83.5%.
When the rate of the communal levy added to the rate of the State levy on the sum of the components of the gross gaming revenue mentioned in 4° and 5° of Article L. 2333-55-1 exceeds 83.5%, the rate of the State levy is reduced so that the total of the two levies is 83.5%.
The communes may, by agreement, transfer all or part of the levy to the grouping of communes, to a metropolis, to the Lyon metropolis or to the mixed syndicate of which they are members when it carries out promotional actions in favour of tourism.
