Flutter urges Ireland to keep betting duty unchanged as tax options are assessed
Flutter asked Ireland’s finance minister to keep the current betting duty unchanged as the government considers measures for Budget 2027, according to reported correspondence. Finance Department estimates put additional annual revenue at €26.5m for a bookmaker duty rise to 2.5%, or €53m at 3%; no increase has been decided, and the projections assume betting volumes and operator behaviour stay constant.
A duty increase could change the tax costs facing regulated bookmakers in Ireland.
