The Government is consulting on proposals to simplify the current gambling tax system by merging the three current taxes that cover remote (including online) gambling into one. The Government is committed to engaging with all stakeholders, as part of the consultation process.

We encourage all stakeholders to engage with the consultation to help ensure that all views are properly considered.
