Labour MPs propose UK gambling tax rises to fund benefit changes
A group of 101 Labour MPs and two members of the All-Party Parliamentary Group urged Chancellor Rachel Reeves to raise gambling taxes and abolish the two-child benefit cap. Their proposals draw on IPPR recommendations to raise selected duties, which the institute estimates could generate an additional £3.2bn; Reeves said the changes were under consideration.
The proposed duty increases could change tax costs for operators across online gambling, gaming machines and sports betting.
