Bingo players protest for lower taxes!
30th June, 2009
Over 500 people have already confirmed they will be attending the Bingo tax protest due to take place tomorrow. The protest is taking place on The Green outside The Houses Of Parliament in Westminster, London.
Commencing at 11.30am and going on to 2pm, with MP Bob Spink and many more MP’s confirming they will be joining the bingo players to show support for the industry.
The Government increased bingo duty from 15 to 22 percent whilst betting and casino tax remained at 15%, with no consideration for the bingo industry, bingo players and club owners will be in their hundreds with the event expecting to fetch widespread media coverage.
The finance bill is going to be discussed tomorrow with the hope that ministers will be exposed to the results the surprise growth in tax has had on the bingo industry.
