Impact of the UK Autumn Budget
Playtech plc (LSE: PTEC) notes the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer's delivery today of the 2025 Autumn Budget and, within that, the increase in Remote Gaming Duty (effective from April 2026) from 21% to 40% and a new Remote Betting Rate within General Betting Duty (effective from April 2027) of 25% (versus a current rate of 15%).
Playtech currently estimates an impact on 2026 Group Adjusted EBITDA of up to high-teens millions of euros before mitigation. However, given the Group's geographic diversity across regulated markets and strong performance and prospects outside of the UK, Playtech remains comfortable that it can meet market expectations for the full year 2026.
