Betting Tax Act 2018
LegislationReferenced in 7 bills
Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill overhauls Queensland's gambling regulation in response to major interstate inquiries that uncovered money laundering, criminal infiltration and other integrity failures at casinos operated by Crown and Star. It strengthens casino oversight, modernises gambling laws to allow cashless payments, creates a framework for wagering on computer-simulated events, and makes it easier for national charities to fundraise in Queensland.
Criminal Code (Consent and Mistake of Fact) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill bundles several unrelated reforms: it clarifies Queensland's sexual consent laws in the Criminal Code based on Law Reform Commission recommendations, reforms the legal profession's Fidelity Guarantee Fund, strengthens alcohol-fuelled violence measures for licensed venues and nightlife areas, bans wagering inducements to protect online gamblers, and makes other miscellaneous amendments.
Royalty Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill overhauls how Queensland calculates petroleum royalties, replacing the old 'wellhead value' system with a simpler volume-based model that applies different rates depending on whether gas is sold domestically, supplied to LNG projects, produced as part of an LNG project, or is liquid petroleum. It also brings mineral and petroleum royalty administration under the Taxation Administration Act 2001 for consistency with state taxes.
Revenue Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill implements several revenue measures from the 2023-24 Queensland State Budget and makes technical changes to state tax laws. It introduces tax concessions to encourage large-scale build-to-rent housing with affordable housing components, extends payroll tax relief for regional businesses and employers of apprentices, simplifies land tax for homeowners, and clarifies that state tax refunds can only be obtained through the statutory process.
Betting Tax Bill 2018
This bill introduces a 15% point-of-consumption betting tax on the net wagering revenue of betting operators from bets placed by customers in Queensland. It replaces the previous point-of-supply wagering tax and aligns Queensland with similar reforms in other Australian states. The bill also removes outdated prohibitions on interstate interactive wagering.
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.
Revenue and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill implements revenue measures from the 2019-20 Queensland Budget. It raises land tax rates on large corporate landholdings and foreign owners, increases the petroleum royalty rate from 10% to 12.5%, adjusts payroll tax thresholds and rates, and provides targeted tax relief for regional employers and businesses that employ apprentices and trainees.
