Racing heads with the leadership of British Horseracing Authority (BHA) have joined hands with the aim of eradicating the issue of bookmakers sponsoring racing events, tracks as well as festivals. The effect will come to be not unless these bookmakers pay levy contributions. This move was processed by the Arena racing Group (ARC) and the Jockey Club who have ditched the bookies since they have not been meeting their levy principles.

The enforcing of the levy acts has been attributed by the fact that a report by BHA has indicated a total loss of £30 million every year by the British Racing which equals to the tax payments. The report also indicated that there is a high possibility of racing contributions by bookmaker from £105 million in 2004/04 to £53 million in 2017.

However, the reluctant of Horse Betting levy system to fund them from the incomes generated from the

The BHA claimed that those bookmakers who have contributed their levy share have been accorded with UK Racing’s ‘Authorized Betting Partners’. They include Betfair, bet365 and 32Red. The bodies have decided on holding the move up to the 31^st day of December where they hope to have come up with a substantial solution.

Nonetheless, the tracks have no worry on the matter as it is clear that the case would take more time before the final verdict is made and by then, the investment company would have recovered all the input capital. It would not be possible for the government to lose the source of taxes as well as firing over 200 employees in Red Mile.
