英国取消6%的在线赛马税提升, 将税率维持在15%, 但提高其他赌注税。 UK scraps 6% online horseracing tax hike, keeps rate at 15%, but raises other betting taxes.

英国政府已放弃Rachel Reeves总理提出的网上赛马赌注提高6%的提议, The UK government has dropped Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ proposed 6% rise in betting duty on online horseracing, keeping the rate at 15% after intense industry and public opposition. 此项决定避免了500年之久的体育运动的潜在失业和财政压力,该运动支持了85 000个工作岗位,具有文化意义。 The decision averts potential job losses and financial strain on the 500-year-old sport, which supports 85,000 jobs and holds cultural significance. 虽然赛马税保持不变,但网上赌博税从15%增加到25%,远程赌博税从21%增加到40%,这引起了人们对赞助减少、奖金降低和长期损害行业的担忧。 While horseracing taxes remain unchanged, online betting duties are increasing from 15% to 25% and remote gaming duty from 21% to 40%, raising concerns about reduced sponsorship, lower prize money, and long-term harm to the industry. 官员们强调,尽管税收有所变动,仍有必要开展协作,以确保可持续性。 Officials stress the need for collaboration to ensure sustainability despite the tax changes.
