The amount of tax revenue collected by the Macau SAR Government from the city’s six casino concessionaires reached MOP$915.8 million (US$113.2 million) in September, 275% higher than the MOP$244.4 million (US$30.2 million) collected in August but 48.2% lower than the same time last year.
The year-on-year decline continues a run of poor results for both Macau’s gaming operators and the government, with border restrictions and COVID-19 outbreaks across mainland China limiting travel.
The September figure also correlates to Macau’s August GGR figure of MOP$2.19 billion (US$271 million) – an improvement on the record low of MOP$398 million (US$49 million) recorded in July but 50.7% lower than August 2021.
