We support the principle that gambling should be regulated on a ‘point of consumption’
basis: where the consumer is. We note the concerns raised about taxation of the online
industry. The Government stated that the ability to bring all operators serving UK
consumers within the tax net is a consequence, but not the prime motivation, of the draft
legislation. We note in this regard that, in setting a tax rate for remote gambling, the
Treasury should bear in mind that too high a rate would be liable to drive customers and
companies into the unregulated, black market.
