UK Treasury Committee urges higher taxes on higher-risk gambling
The UK Parliament’s Treasury Committee recommended differentiating gambling taxes by product, with higher rates for forms it considers higher risk, in a report published on 7 November. It also called for a review of anti-avoidance measures to limit movement to unregulated platforms; the recommendations are intended to inform decisions ahead of the 26 November autumn budget.
The recommendations could shape tax treatment for online gambling operators in the UK.
