Tax and legal audit of a project/organization: what is it?

Tax and legal audit is a part of legal audit. The essence of a tax-legal audit is a thorough examination of the taxation aspects of a group/project/company with a legal bias. Thanks to such an inspection, it is possible to identify tax and legal risks, check the effectiveness of the current level of taxation of the group and develop possible recommendations for eliminating/minimizing such risks and establishing the rationality of the structure and work of the project with an optimal level of tax burden. In most cases, this procedure is performed by tax lawyers without the involvement of accountants and/or auditors.

The list of aspects that will be checked will directly depend on the agreement with the client.

At Inteliumlaw, we collaborate with gambling software development companies, providers of gaming systems and technologies, gambling resellers, distributors, gaming aggregators, operators, and white-label businesses within the gambling sphere. Below, we provide a guide on how to get an online casino license and other iGaming license-related explanations that might be of great value to your business. What is a Gaming License? When starting your gambling business, you might for sure consider the following question “What is a gaming license?”, “What is a gaming license for a casino?”, “Do I need a gaming license for my project?”, “How can an online gaming license help me?” Let’s discuss these questions here. A gaming license is a legal permit issued by regulatory authorities, granting authorization for gambling technology providers, operators, and other gambling market players (e.g., related services providers) to engage in gambling activities within a specific jurisdiction(s). It functions as a validation of compliance with the stringent regulations and guidelines established by the licensing authority. The gaming license ensures that businesses function in line with the applicable law, maintaining fairness, security, and responsible gaming practices while ensuring trust among players and potential partners. Gaming licenses act as a guarantee of transparency and fair play, protecting both the players and the industry itself. However, getting a gaming license isn’t an easy process. You will need to go through several checks and tests, including technical, personal, and legal compliance reviews. Thus, it is recommended to engage professionals who can assist you through all stages. Who is Required to Obtain an Online Gaming License? Online gaming licenses are required for businesses that operate casinos or engage in online gambling. These businesses could cover any aspect, including technology, customer service, financial management, website maintenance, or else. The diverse range of participants in the gambling industry emphasizes the need for comprehensive regulatory oversight, safeguarding not only the interests of the players but also preserving the credibility and trustworthiness of the industry as a whole. Advantages of Obtaining an Online Gambling License Acquiring an online gambling license brings forth a multitude of advantages that go beyond mere legality. Here are several key benefits: Trust and Recognition from Players and Partners. A licensed gambling platform inspires trust and confidence among players. It serves as a hallmark of integrity, assuring players that the gaming establishment operates ethically, thus enhancing customer loyalty and trust. Access to New Markets. Online gambling licenses often allow access to new markets that might otherwise be restricted, expanding the reach and potential customer base of the gambling enterprise. Enhanced Brand Reputation. An iGaming license bolsters brand reputation, positioning the gambling platform as a trustworthy and reliable entity. Investor Confidence. A licensed gambling enterprise tends to attract more investor confidence, potentially opening doors to funding opportunities for expansion and innovation. Recognition by Financial Institutions, Software Providers, and other Partners: An official license boosts your credibility and builds trust with partners, including software providers and financial institutions, by showing your commitment to regulatory standards. Unlicensed gambling entities will hardly be able to have fiat payment methods or other reputable partnerships for their online casinos. Regulatory Support. Regulatory bodies provide licensed gaming establishments with continuous assistance and updates, guaranteeing compliance with changing industry norms and legislative mandates. Legal Protection. A licensed gambling operation enjoys the protection of the state in the event of disputes or legal issues. This not only safeguards your business but also reassures stakeholders of a legal recourse in case of conflicts. In case of any claims, you will have a regulation to argue against them, which is very helpful for your legal risk management. Getting an online gambling license promotes sustainable growth and reputation in the gambling sector by fostering an atmosphere of trust, legitimacy, and responsible gaming practices, in addition to legal compliance. Gaming License Requirements and Rules When answering the question “How to get a gambling license?” please consider the following: each country has its own set of rules and requirements. There are common expectations from regulators, but the gaming license requirements to obtain a gaming license in different jurisdictions differ. The common requirements often include: 1. Good Reputation Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) and directors should have a good business reputation, relevant experience in the gambling industry, and no criminal records – so-called “gaming license background check.” 2. Clear and Understandable Source of Funds The confirmations of the source of wealth should be provided. It is necessary to show how the funds to finance the business were earned alongside the financial history of the key individuals 3. Developed Business Plan A detailed business plan is important to show how the project will operate and grow (what are the expectations and projections). 4. Team The organizational structure of the team involved, as well as a description of the functions of each member and their roles, should be provided. 5. Certification of the Platform and Content It is important to confirm that the technology and games you plan to use are fair and fall within the global technical standards or specific standards of a particular jurisdiction (if any). 6. AML and KYC Policies Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) policies should be in place to confirm that the business will perform necessary checks. 7. Paid Share Capital Certain jurisdictions may, among other gambling license requirements, ask a business to have a proper share capital as a guarantee in case of any potential payments due to players or authorities. 8. Substance Requirements Regulators may require keeping a proper presence in
