Bingo and Football Pools: Taxation

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the rate of gross profits tax levied on (a) bingo clubs and (b) the Football Pools; and for what reasons there is a difference between the two.

No assessment has been made. The government recognises the significant role that bingo clubs play in bringing local communities together and contributing to British culture. This is why the government decided to reduce the rate of bingo duty to 10%.
