UK government consults on single remote gambling duty
The UK Treasury and HMRC launched a consultation on 28 April 2025 proposing to replace three remote gambling taxes with a single Remote Betting & Gaming Duty. The consultation seeks views on tax treatment and scope, including marketing incentives and spread betting; the rate would be set in a future budget. It closes on 21 July 2025, and the change could take effect from October 2027 or later, subject to parliamentary approval and IT readiness.
Operators may need to adapt tax reporting if the proposed single duty replaces the existing three-tax regime.
