£36, 3 million Bingo tax rebate!

It seems that the offline bingo industry has received some good news… Well, good news for some at least.

The gaurdian.co.uk reports that bingo and casino company Rank Group is set to receive a £36, 3 million tax rebate from the UK’s VAT and Duties Tribunal. Unfortunately it will only be paid out after an appeal.

Now in my books (and most people’s for that matter) £36, 3 million is a GOOD thing and I’m pleased that at least some of the offline bingo halls have been given a bit of a break. It’s been a long, unpleasant slog for them since the change in the smoking laws.

Cheers for now

PS. Have a great bank holiday weekend!
