Spain is looking to begin issuing online poker licenses as early as June 2012 to prospective operators who are willing to pay back taxes for the period of January 2009 thru May 2011.

The Spanish economy is in dire straits and taxing online gaming will help the government acquire some much needed additional revenue.

Internet gaming operators have been in talks with the Spanish tax authorities over the last few weeks and all eager to establish themselves legally within the European region to gain a valuable share of the EU online gaming market.

A total of 60 poker rooms have applied for licenses in Spain with a list that includes PokerStars, PartyPoker, 888 Poker, Bwin, Betfair and Sporting Bet Plc.

The amount prospective Spanish license holders will need to pay in order to attain a license will amount to a fortune in back taxes.
