Racing Queensland
OrganisationReferenced in 3 bills
Racing Integrity Amendment Bill 2022
This bill reforms how decisions by racing stewards are reviewed in Queensland. It creates a new independent Racing Appeals Panel to hear appeals faster than the current system, limits further appeals to serious cases only, and authorises publication of stewards' reports online to improve transparency.
Betting Tax Bill 2018
This bill introduces a 15% point-of-consumption betting tax on the net wagering revenue of betting operators from bets made by customers in Queensland. It replaces the old point-of-supply tax system, ensuring that Queensland collects tax revenue based on where punters are located when they bet, rather than where the betting company is licensed. This brings Queensland into line with South Australia and Victoria.
Betting Tax and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill reforms Queensland racing industry funding by increasing betting tax to 20% and guaranteeing that 80% of revenue flows to Racing Queensland, with minimum funding for country racing. It also establishes administrative systems for the mental health levy on large employers.
