Significant tax increases on gambling could lead to a rise in the shadow market
According to The Sun: Rachel Reeves received a signal that tax increases on gambling could force players to seek illegal options. The Minister of Finance was warned about the negative consequences for licensed bookmakers, as this could lead to a surge in the activities of shadow operators.
Politicians and sports celebrities support The Sun's campaign 'Save Our Bets' against budget proposals for tax increases.
This situation raises concerns among experts, as the growth of the shadow market could not only impact the budget but also lead to an increase in fraud and other offenses in this area. When analyzing such trends, it is important to consider the need for a balanced tax policy that takes into account the interests of the state and legal players.
