BACTA tax fears
Published:  09 February, 2011

The chief executive of trade body BACTA has written to the government to express concern about its plans for an overhaul of gaming machine taxation in the UK.

In a letter to Justine Greening MP, the economic secretary to the Treasury, BACTA’s Leslie MacLeod-Miller said the industry was worried by proposals to replace both the existing Amusement Machine Licence Duty and VAT on net takings with a single Machine Games Duty, in effect a percentage tax on each machine’s profits.

The new duty would affect machines in Categories B to D, in venues including casinos, bookmakers, adult gaming centres, family entertainment centres, pubs, clubs and bingo halls.
