The package provides for the application of charges between<strong> June 12 and July 20, 2026<\/strong>, the official period of the competition in the United States. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the new tax on bets and services for the World Cup predicts <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal includes four types of temporary surcharges. The main one concerns <a href=\"https:\/\/igamingbrazil.com\/en\/sports-betting-en\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"Sports Betting\">sports betting<\/a> linked to the World Cup, covering casinos, digital platforms and operators linked to horse racing. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/igamingbrazil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/FIFA-1024x534.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igamingbrazil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/FIFA-1024x534.webp 1024w, https:\/\/igamingbrazil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/FIFA-300x157.webp 300w, https:\/\/igamingbrazil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/FIFA-768x401.webp 768w, https:\/\/igamingbrazil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/FIFA-805x420.webp 805w, https:\/\/igamingbrazil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/FIFA-150x78.webp 150w, https:\/\/igamingbrazil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/FIFA-696x363.webp 696w, https:\/\/igamingbrazil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/FIFA-1068x557.webp 1068w, https:\/\/igamingbrazil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/FIFA.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">World Cup Cup &#8211; Photo: Reproduction \/ FIFA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the project establishes a <strong>2.5% tax on accommodation<\/strong>, an <strong>additional charge of 3% on sales in the Meadowlands district <\/strong>and an additional<strong> US$0.50 <\/strong>on trips per application in the region. The text also allows residents to request state tax credit for fees paid. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the proposal faces political resistance<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initiative generated a reaction among parliamentarians from different parties. Criticism focuses on the temporary increase in taxes and the lack of clarity about the total costs of the event. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Representative Josh Gottheimer<\/strong> criticized the proposal and stated: <strong><em>\u201ccommunities did not request tax increases.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>State Representative Christopher DePhillips<\/strong> pointed out inconsistency with previous promises and declared: <strong><em>\u201cThis measure does exactly the opposite of what was promised.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Representative Al Barlas<\/strong> also questioned the rule change and said: <em>\u201cChanging the rules of the game after the fact is wrong.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Debate over costs and transportation increases pressure<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The state government defends the plan as a way to avoid direct impact on residents. The administration classifies the charges as a fee aimed at visitors during the event. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Spokesperson Maggie Garbarino<\/strong>, representing Governor <strong>Mikie Sherrill<\/strong>, said:<strong> \u201cNew Jersey residents should not have to bear the costs of hosting the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifa.com\/pt\/tournaments\/mens\/worldcup\/canadamexicousa2026\">FIFA World Cup.<\/a><\/em>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The discussion gained strength after the announcement of high prices for public transport. <strong>NJ Transit<\/strong> plans to charge up to<strong> $150 <\/strong>for train rides between Manhattan and the stadium during the tournament, much higher than the standard fare.<br\/> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The governor also pointed out that the state assumed relevant transportation costs without financial participation from <strong>FIFA<\/strong>. The estimated value reaches <strong>US$48 million<\/strong> for fan travel. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pressure grows with the economic impact of the World Cup<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Studies indicate that host cities must face high operating costs. The<strong> Institute of Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP)<\/strong> estimates million-dollar losses in tax revenue due to exemptions related to the event. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reports also indicate that spending on infrastructure, security and logistics can vary between <strong>US$100 million and US$200 million<\/strong> per city. At the same time,<strong> FIFA<\/strong> projects to raise around <strong>US$11 billion<\/strong> from the tournament. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the competition approaches, legislators intensify the debate on the balance between revenue, public costs and economic impact. The decision on the proposals is expected to advance in the coming weeks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legislators from New Jersey, in the United States, have presented bills that provide for the creation of temporary surcharges during the 2026 World Cup, including a 10% tax on revenue [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":226516,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21939],"tags":[3368,3114,21381],"class_list":["post-226561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports-betting-en-2","tag-new-jersey-en-2","tag-sports-betting-en","tag-world-cup-2026"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>New Jersey proposes betting tax to fund 2026 World Cup - iGaming Brazil<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"New Jersey proposes tax on betting on the 2026 World Cup to cover costs, sparking political criticism and debate over economic impact.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/igamingbrazil.com\/en\/sports-betting-en-2\/2026\/05\/06\/new-jersey-proposes-betting-tax-to-fund-2026-world-cup\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New Jersey proposes betting tax to fund 2026 World Cup\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Senator Paul Sarlo presented the project in the Senate, while deputy Michael Venezia filed an equivalent proposal in the Assembly.
