I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that estimates of the amount of additional duty that would be generated if the rate of betting tax was increased from 1% to 3% is available in the pre-Budget 2018 Ready Reckoner at: . 

The additional revenue generated if the betting tax was increased to 5% would be €250 million on a straight line basis and assuming nothing else changes.
