Tunisia may introduce a 60% tax for gambling operators in the 2027 finance bill

Tunisia is considering a 60% tax for gambling operators in its 2027 finance bill. For PSPs, that is the kind of headline that can change merchant economics fast: pricing, approval appetite, and whether a local betting or gaming book still makes sense.

1. The proposal is framed as part of Tunisia’s 2027 finance bill, and the figure being discussed is a 60% tax for gambling operators.
2. No further details are given in the source on scope, implementation timing, or whether the measure would apply to online, land-based, or both types of gambling activity.
3. For payment providers, a tax line like this matters because it directly affects merchant margin. In high-risk verticals, margin is already doing a lot of work: covering chargebacks, reserves, fraud controls, licensing, and the occasional bank relationship that needs more babysitting than usual.
