Gambling Tax

The Tax Group works closely with Olswang’s Gambling Group in assisting gambling operators to comply with their UK gambling duty obligations and to structure and operate their businesses tax efficiently.

The Group has in-depth knowledge of the UK's gambling industry and has developed particular expertise in assisting operators to restructure their operations so as to maximise the potential of the UK's new gambling regulatory regime as introduced by the Gambling Act 2005.

The Tax Group regularly advises on general betting duty (for fixed odds bookmakers, spread betting operators, betting exchanges and pool betting on horse and dog racing), pool betting duty, bingo duty, gaming duty, remote gaming duty, lottery duty, amusement machine licence duty and VAT.
