‹ Order of Business Online betting taxation Bill
Summary
Michael McGrath asks about delays to legislation taxing online betting; the Tánaiste says the Bill was published in July 2012 and awaits time for Second Stage.
The betting (amendment) Bill was first published in July 2012. It was republished this summer. Clearly, there is a significant delay in bringing it forward. The Bill deals with applying taxes to online betting, an issue which is obviously posing logistical difficulties, but it is preventing the State from recouping significant moneys. When will the Bill be brought forward?
