How to calculate the gaming tax?

The gaming tax can be calculated using the following formula:

Tax Amount:

§§ \text{Tax Amount} = ( \text{Total Income} - \text{Deductions} ) \times \left( \frac{\text{Tax Rate}}{100} \right) §§

where:

  • § \text{Tax Amount} § — the total tax you owe
  • § \text{Total Income} § — your total income from gaming
  • § \text{Deductions} § — any deductions you are eligible for
  • § \text{Tax Rate} § — the percentage of tax applied to your income

This formula allows you to determine how much tax you need to pay based on your gaming income and any deductions you may have.

Example:

  • Total Income from Gaming (§ \text{Total Income} §): $1,000
  • Gaming Tax Rate (§ \text{Tax Rate} §): 15%
  • Possible Deductions (§ \text{Deductions} §): $100

Tax Amount:

§§ \text{Tax Amount} = (1000 - 100) \times \left( \frac{15}{100} \right) = 135 §§
