Answer
No assessment of the Exchequer impact of reducing the rate of Pool Betting Duty to 10% has been made.
However due to the ease of changing between pools betting and regular betting the Government considers it would put a significant portion of the General Betting Duty receipts at risk – which totalled £572m in 2017-18.
A list of current and future gambling duty rates can be found in Annex A of the Government’s Budget 2018 document.
