Gaming Machine Tax Act 2001 (NSW)

Gaming machine tax — calculation and lodgement

NSW · Revenue NSWTracks

Registered clubs pay gaming machine tax on their net gaming machine revenue at rates prescribed by the Gaming Machine Tax Act. The tax is self-assessed and lodged with Revenue NSW. Venue Axis surfaces the gaming-tax figure in the CEO board-pack; the obligation to calculate, lodge, and pay sits with the club's finance function.

Consequence of breach

What can go wrong.

Revenue NSW penalty interest on late payment; default assessment if not lodged; potential prosecution for evasion.

Consequences are summarised from the underlying legislation. Specific penalties depend on the breach pattern, prior history, and the regulator's enforcement posture. Talk to a liquor and gaming lawyer for a definitive view of your venue's exposure.
