British Taxing Policies are Tough
There is nothing new in the ongoing complaints from the land bingo industry in
the UK – the bingo parlor operators have long voiced their concerns that the
double taxation on internet bingo halls would only serve to make those operators
close their doors. With fewer and fewer bingo halls able to effectively operate,
the bingo players are turning to the online casino gambling industry to find fun
and interactive bingo playing experiences.
The latest statistics and figures indicate that the UK bingo industry is going
online in increasingly high numbers. The double taxation on land bingo
operations is a really big issue in the UK’s gambling legislation. The Gambling
Act that came into effect two years ago really liberalized the online casinos
and expanded the UK’s internet gaming industries…but some supporters of the land
bingo industry note that the expansion of internet bingo has been at the expense
of land bingo operations…and that just isn’t fair.
Although the land bingo operators have been pressing this subject for some time
now it is only recently that the issue has gained political support…and thus
only now might the issue find some fast resolution before all of the land bingo
gamblers turn to the online casinos for good. Basically, the Scottish National
Party has called for the end of the double taxation on the land bingo operators
– this is the first major advancement in the cause for some time and the land
bingo operators are applauding the SNP and hoping that change is coming soon
now. |
