Football Pools: Taxation
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has made an estimate of the revenue that could accrue to the public purse from a redeveloped football pools industry.
- Answer
-
No estimate has been made. Pool Betting Duty raises around £5m in revenue for the Exchequer per annum. Reducing the level of taxation would be likely to have at best a limited effect on the football pools. However, it could put revenue at risk, particularly through incentivising switching of products from fixed odds bets to pooled bets.
