Bingo Taxation
EDM number 1174 in 2013-14, proposed by Robert Halfon on 12/03/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Gambling and Taxation.
That this House believes that bingo plays an important role in the community; notes that Harlow Mecca Bingo has 54,000 members; further notes that despite being a soft form of gambling, bingo is subject to a gross profits tax of 20 per cent, despite all other forms of gambling being taxed at 15 per cent; and therefore urges the Government to reduce the bingo tax so that it is in line with other forms of gambling.
This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
