HC Deb 01 March 1995 vol 255 cc580-1W
Mrs. Ann Taylor

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer at what frequency football promoters are required to pay pool betting duty.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

Pool betting duty is payable weekly on Thursday following the week, which ends on a Saturday, in which the liability for the duty arose. However, certain pools promoters have been granted an extension which allows them a further week before they are required to submit returns and payment.
