Horseracing Betting Levy Board payments
In
addition to the Gambling Commission licence fees, on-course and
off-course bookmakers are required to pay a statutory levy to the
Horseracing Betting Levy Board (HBLB)
which is used to support horseracing. Failure to pay the HBLB levy
may invalidate your Gambling Commission operating licence. You can
see more about the HBLB on its website.
