HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) robustly pursues all tax due unless there are compelling reasons not to do so. Where it is discovered that tax is due or uncollected because of official error, HMRC will seek payment in the usual way where statutory time limits allow.

Forecasts for betting and gaming tax receipts are published by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). However, the OBR does not publish a breakdown of projected revenues from the 7 individual betting and gaming duties due to the disclosive nature of the underlying data; doing so would contravene taxpayer confidentiality rules due to the limited number of operators in certain areas of the market.<\/p>
<\/p>
For the latest forecast of revenue from betting and gaming duties, please see the \u2018supplementary fiscal tables: receipts and other\u2019 table from the OBR\u2019s latest \u2018Economic and Fiscal Outlook\u2019 publication: http://budgetresponsibility.org.uk/efo/economic-fiscal-outlook-march-2017/<\/a>.
