Taxation Of Bingo

EDM number 1919 in 2010-12, proposed by Brian Binley on 14/06/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Gambling and Taxation.

That this House recognises the important social and community role that bingo plays across the United Kingdom; believes the current 20 per cent. gross profit tax on bingo should be lowered to 15 per cent. to bring it in line with taxation on other forms of gambling; and supports a new report by the Bingo Association and Ernst and Young that demonstrates that such a reduction in taxation would have significant benefits for the Exchequer and would raise an additional 65 million in the period from 2011 to 2014.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
