The levy 27 1 The contributions such as are mentioned in section 24(1) of this Act to be made by bookmakers and betting exchange providers shall be paid by way of a levy in respect of each levy period in accordance with this section . 1A The levy is charged at the rate of 10% of the amount by which a person’s profits for a levy period exceed the exempt amount (see section 27D). 1B The person’s profits for a levy period are the sum of— a the person’s profits as a bookmaker on leviable bets for the period (see section 27A), and b the commission charged by the person as a betting exchange provider on leviable bets during the period (see section 27C). 1C The persons by whom the levy is payable include those bookmakers and betting exchange providers who are required to hold remote operating licences. 1D In subsection (1C) “remote operating licence” has the same meaning as in the Gambling Act 2005 (see section 67 of that Act). 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Profits as a bookmaker 27A A bookmaker’s profits on leviable bets for a levy period are— S M + O A − W where— SM is the aggregate of the stake money falling due to the bookmaker in the levy period on leviable bets; OA is aggregate of any other amounts accruing to the bookmaker in the levy period in connection with leviable bets; W is the aggregate of any winnings paid by the bookmaker in the levy period in respect of leviable bets (irrespective of when the bets were made or determined). Stake money 27B 1 For the purposes of section 27A the stake money on a leviable bet is the aggregate of the amounts which fall due in respect of the bet. 2 If the stake money falls due to a person other than the bookmaker with whom the bet is made, it is to be treated as falling due to the bookmaker. 3 Where the bet is not a spread bet and the sum which the person who makes the bet will lose if unsuccessful is known when the bet is made, that sum is to be treated as falling due when the bet is made (irrespective of when it is actually paid or required to be paid). 4 Where the person who makes the bet does so in pursuance of an offer which waives all or part of the amount which the person would have been required to pay to make the bet, the person is to be treated as being due to pay that amount— a to the bookmaker with whom the bet is made, and b at the time when the bet is made. 5 But subsection (4) does not apply to the extent that— a the amount in question was won on a leviable bet made in pursuance of a previous offer which waived all or part of the amount which the person would have been required to pay to make the bet, and b the person was not entitled to use the amount otherwise than for the purpose of making a further leviable bet. 6 In this section “spread bet” means a bet that constitutes a contract the making or accepting of which is a regulated activity within the meaning of section 22 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Betting exchange commission 27C 1 This section applies where one person makes a leviable bet with another person using facilities provided in the course of a business by a third person (“the betting exchange provider”). 2 Any amount that any party to the bet is charged, whether by deduction from winnings or otherwise, for using those facilities is commission on the bet for the purposes of section 27(1B)(b). 3 If the amount is charged by a person other than the betting exchange provider, it is to be treated for those purposes as charged by the betting exchange provider. The exempt amount 27D 1 This section applies for the purpose of calculating the exempt amount for a levy period. 2 Subsections (3) and (4) apply in relation to— a a person who, at any time in the levy period, is a parent undertaking of one or more other undertakings, and b those other undertakings. 3 The undertakings are entitled to a single exempt amount of £500,000 between them for the levy period. 4 The undertakings— a may allocate the exempt amount between them as they think fit, and b must notify the Levy Board in writing of any such allocation, and of any alterations to the allocation. 5 In any other case, a person’s exempt amount for the levy period is £500,000. 6 In this section “undertaking” and “parent undertaking” have the meanings given by the Companies Act 2006 (see sections 1161 and 1162 of that Act). Power to obtain information 27E 1 The Levy Board may by notice in writing require any person who appears to them to be liable to pay the levy under section 27 to provide them with information reasonably required by them for the purpose of assessing the person’s liability under that section. 2 The information must be provided in such manner and form, and within such reasonable period, as may be specified in the notice. 3 Failure to comply with a requirement under this section does not affect a person’s liability under section 27.

Levy appeal tribunals. 29 1 There shall be established for the purposes of section 28 of this Act and section 2 of the Horserace Betting Levy Act 1981 — a one or more appeal tribunals for England and Wales; and b one or more appeal tribunals for Scotland; and an appeal under section 28(5) of this Act or section 2(1) of the said Act of 1981 shall be referred to a tribunal established for Scotland if the appellant is the holder of a bookmaker’s permit which was last granted or renewed by an authority in Scotland. 2 Each such tribunal shall consist of a chairman and two other members of whom— a the chairman, who shall be i a person who satisfies the judicial-appointment eligibility condition on a 5-year basis; or ii an advocate or solicitor in Scotland of at least 5 years’ standing, shall be appointed by the Lord Chancellor or, in the case of a tribunal established for Scotland, by the Lord President of the Court of Session; and b the other members shall be appointed by the Secretary of State; and each member of any such tribunal shall hold office in accordance with the terms of the instrument under which he was appointed , but subject, in the case of the chairman, to subsection (2A) of this section . 2A The chairman of any such tribunal shall vacate his office on the day on which he attains the age of 75 . 3 The procedure of any such tribunal shall be such as the Lord Chancellor or, in the case of a tribunal established for Scotland, the Lord President of the Court of Session may by rules prescribe; and any such rules shall be made by statutory instrument, which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. 4 The Levy Board shall pay to the members of any such tribunal such remuneration as the Board may with the approval of the Secretary of State determine and any travelling and other expenses reasonably incurred by them as members of the tribunal. 5 The Levy Board shall provide any such tribunal with such secretarial and other facilities as may appear to the Board to be necessary or expedient, and, without prejudice to subsection (7) of this section, shall pay any expenses incurred by the tribunal for the purposes of their functions with the approval, whether general or special, of the Levy Board. 6 If any such tribunal thinks it just so to direct in allowing any appeal by a person , the Levy Board shall pay to that person such amount as the tribunal may specify towards expenses appearing to the tribunal to have been reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the appeal. 7 If any such tribunal, in dismissing any appeal by a person , or on the abandonment of any appeal after the tribunal has taken some action towards its determination, thinks it just that the person should make a payment towards expenses incurred by the tribunal in connection with the appeal, the tribunal may certify accordingly and the Levy Board shall be entitled to recover from the person as a debt due to them the amount specified in the certificate. Meaning of “leviable bet” 29A 1 In this Part “leviable bet” means a bet that— a relates to horse racing in Great Britain, and b is made (whether in person or remotely) by a person who is in Great Britain when the bet is made. 2 The following are not “horse racing” for the purposes of subsection (1)(a)— a point to point racing; b harness racing; c trotting events.
