Written question asked by Philip Davies (Conservative) on Tuesday, 15 October 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 17 October 2019. It was answered by Simon Clarke (Conservative) on Tuesday, 22 October 2019 on behalf of the Treasury.
Football Pools: Excise Duties
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment he has made of the potential merits of reducing pool betting duty to 10 per cent.
- Answer
-
No recent estimate has been made. Reducing Pool Betting Duty to 10% is likely to have a negligible effect on the Football Pools, but could put revenue at risk particularly through incentivising switching of products from fixed odds bets to pooled bets.
HM Treasury however keeps all taxes under active review.
