Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to doubling the tax on remote gaming duty from 21 per cent to 42 per cent, as recommended by the Social Market Foundation report Fiscally Responsible: The case for reforming Remote Gaming Duty, published on 15 October.

As with all taxes, the Government keeps gambling duty rates under review. Any changes will be announced by the Chancellor in the Budget.
