The Bishop of St Albans received the following written answer on 29th October 2024:
The Lord Bishop of St Albans asked His Majesty’s Government:
- what assessment they have made of the finding in the Social Market Foundation report Fiscally Responsible: The case for reforming Remote Gambling Duty, published on 15 October, that 52 per cent of respondents to a Survation poll believe the Government should increase tax on online gambling.
- 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.
- what plans they have to conduct a full review of gambling taxation ahead of the 2025 Budget, as recommended in the Social Market Foundation report Fiscally Responsible: The case for reforming Remote Gaming Duty, published on 15 October.
Lord Livermore (Lab, Treasury): As with all taxes, the Government keeps gambling duty rates under review. Any changes will be announced by the Chancellor in the Budget.
