The Paris and Games Council strongly rejects the results of the IPPR on the increase in the game tax
The Council of Paris and Games based in the United Kingdom has published a strong declaration rejecting the conclusions of a reflection group which urged the government to increase the game tax.
The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) has called on the government to considerably increase tax as a means of reducing the poverty of children.
The report published by the IPPR suggests that there are options on the table so that the government removes the limit of two children and bring together household service ceilings. “These measures would cost around 3 billion pounds sterling and, although we recognize that there are budgetary constraints that the government is faced, there are options on the table at the moment that could respond to these costs and support 1.6 million children to live a better life,” said the IPPR.
This occurs when the game reform talks have been widespread in the United Kingdom in recent months.
The reflection group then recommended an increase in distance playing duties from 21% to 50%, machine game duties from 20% to 50% on the profit of the operator. They also proposed to increase the law of Paris general by 15% to 25%.
“We completely reject the proposals,” says the Paris and Games Council
Now, the Council of Paris and Games has published a statement based on these proposals, which they say that they “reject completely”.
There was a lot of discussion in the media this morning of the tax.
We are unequivocally that new taxes are harming bettors and businesses.

“We completely reject the proposals of the IPPR, on which Gordon Brown has based his calls for a drastic tax increase and which will only strike ordinary bettors,” said the BGC.
“These proposals are economically reckless, deceptively deceptually and may lead to a large number of increasing, dangerous and unregulated game games, which does not protect consumers and does not contribute to zero tax.”
Gordon Brown is a former British Prime Minister and Longtime Chancellor who went to social networks on August 6 to suggest that it is “time to tax the game industry very profitable to pay for action on children’s poverty. Games of chance will not strengthen Great Britain for the future, but children free of poverty. ”
“BGC members contribute 6.8 billion pounds to the economy, generate 4 billion pounds of tax sterling, while supporting 109,000 jobs,” said the Council.
“It is also incorrect to suggest that the radoard is taxed at a higher rate. General Paris rights are 15% in all sports. Confuse the separate tax with the tax is misleading, because the sample returns directly to the race to support sport.
“Additional tax increases, freshly out of the government’s reforms that cost the one billion lost income, would do more harm than good – for bettors, jobs, growth and public finances.”
