Gibraltar must remain pragmatic and prioritise smart policies to help domiciled businesses overcome the headwinds of a new UK tax regime on online gambling.
This message led an address to Parliament by Nigel Feetham KC MP, the Minister of Trade and Industry of Gibraltar, providing an initial assessment of impacts that the Budget 2026 will have on the British overseas territory.
Feetham made no bones on the significance of the increase in Remote Gaming Duty (RGD) from 21% to 40% on 1 April 2026 and General Betting Duty from 15% to 25% effective April 2027.: “This is an issue of vital importance to Gibraltar and one that may directly and indirectly affect our public revenues.”
