The Dutch government will announce on Tuesday that the rise in the Dutch gambling tax will not happen as swiftly as originally planned, according to reports.
The tax rate was set to go up to 37.8 per cent from 30.5 per cent.
However, according to RTL, the rate will first increase to 34.2 per cent in 2025, before rising to 37.8 per cent in 2026.
The Dutch cabinet are reportedly set to announce details of the move as part of Tuesday’s Budget announcement.
The interim step is designed to give the gambling industry more time to adapt, RTL said.
Holland Casino was particularly vocal in its latest results report about the detrimental impact the tax plans will have on its operations.
