Australia Northern Territory doubles tax cap for bookmakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Northern Territory government is to double the annual tax cap applicable to licensed corporate bookmakers and betting exchanges from 1m to 2m revenue units from July 1. There will be a new uniform tax rate of 50 per cent for all internet gambling licensees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The change is expected to bring in an extra AU$13.1m (US$8.4m) in tax income each year. The government expects tax from bookmakers for 2025-26 to reach AU$32.6m, while betting exchange tax is expected to reach AU$2.9m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the gambling tax take for 2025-26 could reach AU$145m. That would be an increase of 25.5 per cent in year-on-year terms. Other taxes, like community gaming machine tax, lotteries tax, community benefit levy, and wagering tax, will remain at the same level as before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
