UK lawmakers examine Sky Bet’s Malta headquarters move and tax implications
Former prime minister Gordon Brown urged UK MPs to examine whether gambling companies use relocations to reduce UK tax liabilities, according to the report. Tax expert Dan Neidle estimated that Sky Bet’s move could cut its corporation tax bill by up to GBP 31 million annually; Sky Bet said the restructuring was intended to improve operational efficiency and that Flutter remains a major UK taxpayer.
The scrutiny could affect operators’ assessment of tax exposure and corporate structures in the UK.
