Where a casino licence is not held anymore

The levy applies to all casino gambling licence holders that were licensed during the relevant financial year. The amount that is payable is based on the level of United Kingdom (UK) revenue that is generated by your business in the relevant financial year. Amounts will be payable following the end of each financial year.

You will still need to complete and submit the form if your business held a casino licence and was trading during the relevant financial year (making adjustments as per the notes in the annual return form if it was not a full year).

The amount you needed to pay may be reduced if you carried out regulated activities for only part of the financial year.
