The new bill changes the tax rate on land-based sports betting from 29% of awarded prize money (with prizes worth USD513 or less being fully exempted) to 29% of gross gaming revenue (GGR).

The Dutch Lower House has approved the proposed land-based sports betting tax increase.

The new bill changes the tax rate on land-based sports betting from 29% of awarded prize money (with prizes worth USD513 or less being fully exempted) to 29% of gross gaming revenue (GGR).

The change was put forward in order to bring the tax rate on land-based sports betting in line with the (proposed) tax rate on online sports betting. The European Commission ruled earlier that land-based and online betting (as well as bingo) must be taxed equally in order to avoid charges of impermissible state aid.

It is intended that the rate change on land-based sports betting will come into force simultaneously with the implementation of the Remote Gaming Bill. The new bill will also need to be approved by the Senate.
