Gambling: Excise Duties
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the proposed single Remote Betting and Gaming Duty on (a) gambling rates and (b) black market gambling rates.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The consultation on the tax treatment of remote gambling is a matter for HM Treasury. I would encourage all interested stakeholders to respond to this consultation, which runs until 21 July. The department continues to engage with His Majesty’s Treasury and if any legislative changes are made to gambling duty following the consultation, they will be accompanied by a tax information and impact note from HM Treasury, as is standard practice.
