I wrote a few days ago about the bingo tax level and the discontent it was causing in the bingo industry. At 22%, it is higher than that any other gambling facility would have to pay. As such, it is arguably the main reason as to why many bingo clubs can no longer sustain their facilities and are closing. Howver, many are protesting because it would put people out of jobs and the demand to play bingo is still there.
Well, as a result of the march at the start of July and ongoing publicity surrounding bingo tax, Parliament are now reviewing sections of the act that put the ta in place in the first place and are to evaluate whether or not it is fair. There is nothing to say that the best bingo focus will win through but at least there is now a little hope.
