Exactly. We have lost a huge amount of money due to this provision. The exchanges set the odds across the industry in Ireland, they are massive and have not paid their tax. I do not understand why they are exempt from paying VAT. They also do not pay betting duty. If betting exchanges are in competition with bookmakers then they should pay betting duties.
