Why do ordinary people need a lottery law?
The law regulates relations between lottery organizers and players, protecting both those and others from fraud. He clearly describes conditions for holding lotteries, responsibilities of the organizer and guarantees the winning player the timely receipt of the prize. The law explains in detail the terms and concepts, and it leaves no room for interpretation. Interesting, that at the moment, deductions to the federal budget are calculated precisely from the difference between income and expenses, поскольку раньше ситуация была иной.
Besides, armed with knowledge of the law, you will not fall for the bait of scammers, enticing you to play the supposedly "official" international lotteries, and you will know when you are required to provide personal data (выигрыш свыше 15 000 rubles), and when it is enough to present a ticket (выигрыш менее 15 000 rubles).
Lottery conditions. Standards for Federal Law No. 138-FZ "On Lotteries"
- Призовой фонд не может быть меньше половины общей суммы дохода от проведения мероприятия.
- Targeted contributions to the federal budget, (this is the money, which will be spent by the state, for a socially significant project) должны поступать каждый квартал.
- The amount of earmarked deductions is calculated according to a fixed formula and from the total difference between the operator's income and costs, is ten percent.
Let us illustrate the last point with an example:
Targeted deductions go to a percentage not of the total amount, а от разницы между выручкой и призовым фондом.– допустим выручка устроителей от лотереи составила 2 million rubles - and its prize fund is 1 one million rubles (50%)Then earmarked contributions are considered as follows:– До принятия закона они составили бы 200 thousand. rub. (2 000 000*10%)- in edition (2013) они составляют всего 100 thousand. rub. ((2 000 000 – 100 000)*10%)
This state of affairs reduces the burden on lottery operators and makes them feel more relaxed., and the state is guaranteed to make a profit, since the softening of the law stimulates the desire of organizers to organize lotteries.
