The largest gambling company in Australia, Tabcorp Holding Limited, settled the dispute it had with the Australian Taxation Office, which occurred because of the issues with the income tax treatment for many licenses and authorizations the company got over the years.
The beneficial settlement:
After the process was finished, Tabcorp was required to pay the whole disputed amount that was required in tax and interests to the Commissioner.
The company benefited from the settlement as well since the Australian Taxation Office was obligated to pay 20% of disputed tax and liabilities to Tabcorp, so the company was refunded about $83 million. Every single proceeding that the taxpayers wanted to get will be dismissed, and the company will be obligated to pay about $37 million to the Australian Lottery Corporation Limited.
The payment to the Lottery Corporation was required according to the terms of the Separation Deed, which the two giants signed on March 25, 2022, when they decided to change the course of their businesses.
This settlement will guarantee Tabcorp a great increase in its annual revenue. After the taxes are paid, it is expected that the company will see the benefit of about $45 million. The exact amount is to be seen in the financial statements for the current fiscal year, which will end on June 30 next year.
However, it is decided that future actions won’t be taken for granted – Tabcorp will be obligated to pay the license fees in the future, as well as the renewals of the licenses the company currently operates under. The company agreed to treat these fees as the ones of the capital nature for the company. However, according to the press release, Tabcorp doesn’t think it will change the future results in any way and that it won’t affect the material effects on the company’s future.
Tabcorp Disclosure Committee approved publishing of this information in the official press release.
