Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of the proposed single remote betting and gaming duty on the finances of pools operators.

The tax treatment of remote gambling is a matter for HM Treasury. Following the conclusion of its recent consultation on 21st July, any legislative changes made to gambling duties will be accompanied by a tax information and impact note from HM Treasury, as is standard practice.
