I move amendment No. 23:

In page 39, to delete lines 35 to 41 and substitute the following:“(a) the substitution of the following definition for the definition of “remote betting intermediary” (inserted by subparagraph (i) of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of section 54 of the Finance (No. 2) Act 2013):

“ ‘remote betting intermediary’ means a person who is the holder of a remote betting intermediary’s licence;”,”.

Amendments Nos. 23 and 24 are required in order to define “remote betting intermediary” and “remote bookmaker” for tax purposes in the Finance Act 2002 and to better align the definitions between the Finance Act and the Betting (Amendment) Bill. Amendment No. 25 is required to remove the definition of “remote means” from section 64 of the Finance Act 2002, as this definition is no longer required in that Act.
