• In 2018-19, the NSW government received close to $2.5 billion in tax revenue from gambling. This was an increase of $105 million from the previous year. Recent NSW Treasury figures indicate over the next 10 years, $85 billion will be lost on NSW poker machines, and the government will collect $22.5 billion in gaming machine tax.
• The rate was lowest in WA (0.9%) and highest in Victoria (3.2%). Gambling revenue as a portion of state taxation revenue has fallen for all states and territories between 2006–07 and 2015–16. Total Australian gambling revenue in 2008-09 was just over $19 billion and the share of household consumption was 3.1%. New South Wales.
• (b) if the net NSW wagering revenue for the financial year is more than $1,000,000—tax is payable at the rate of 10% of the amount by which the net NSW wagering revenue exceeds $1,000,000. 13D Tax to be paid monthly (1) A betting operator is liable to pay point of consumption tax for each month of the amount specified in this section.

The tax on fixed odds sports betting is 19.11%, compared to 10% with a $250,000 annual cap in Northern Territory. Also, gambling regulation in the state now totals over 1,000 written pages.

Gaming machine report by Local Government Area (LGA)

For each LGA these reports combine the:

• number of venues - clubs or hotels in the LGA
• combined net profit
• number of electronic gaming machines operating in the area.

If there are less than five venues in an LGA, the LGA is combined with a neighbouring LGA.

Note: Due to the impacts of the COVID restrictions, the NSW Government allowed for a deferral of tax payments in the last instalment period. Tax adjustments for 2019-20 are yet to be finalised hence the gaming machine reports by LGA for clubs and hotels for 2019-20 will be reissued when the tax information becomes available.
