PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Gaming Machines: Excise Duties (23 October 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what modelling her Department has done to assess the potential impact of an increase in machine gaming duty on bingo halls.

Asked by:
Gareth Bacon (Conservative)

Answer

The government will consult next year on proposals to bring remote gambling (meaning gambling offered over the internet, telephone, TV and radio) into a single tax, rather than taxing it through a three-tax structure. This will aim to simplify, future-proof and close loopholes in the system.
