Taxation: Gaming Machines

Volume 494: debated on Monday 15 June 2009

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) what assessment he has made of the compatibility of the introduction of a gross profit tax to replace amusement machine licence duty with the Hampton principles of better regulation; and if he will make a statement; (279741)

(2) what regulatory impact assessment he plans to publish as part of the consultation on the introduction of a gross profit tax to replace amusement machine licence duty.

An impact assessment, including an assessment of compatibility with Hampton principles, will be published alongside the consultation document on moving gaming machines taxation to a gross profits regime. We expect to publish these before the summer recess.
