Racing Queensland Board (Racing Queensland)

Betting Tax and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022

This bill increases the tax on betting operators from 15 to 20 per cent and directs 80 per cent of the revenue to Racing Queensland, creating a more sustainable funding model for the racing industry. It also guarantees at least $20 million per year for country thoroughbred race meetings and makes administrative changes to support the rollout of the mental health levy on large employers from 1 January 2023.
