I propose to take Questions Nos. 248 and 272 together.
I am advised by Revenue that Betting Duty is charged on all bets placed by a person with a Licensed Bookmaker (Traditional Licence), a Licensed Remote Bookmaker (Remote Licence) or a Licensed Remote Betting Intermediary (Commissions Licence). The rate of Betting Duty charged on bets placed with holders of a Traditional and/or Remote Licence is 2%, while the rate of Betting Duty applicable to commissions charged by licensed intermediaries is 25%.
The receipts for 2019 to 2021 and the provisional receipts for 2022 in respect of Betting Duty broken down by licence type are provided in the table below:
