  1. Changes have been made to pages 5, 9 and 10 and the appendix. The originally published version presented the growth in the gambling industry between 2014/15 and 2023/24. However, the Gambling Commission's industry statistics for 2014/15 are not directly comparable with subsequent years because they do not include revenue generated by operators based outside the UK. These figures have been amended to compare 2015/16 to 2023/24, which presents a more meaningful comparison. On page 5, the five year growth rate has been corrected from 20% to 30%, amending a calculation error. The Tax Treatment of Remote Gambling Consultation accessible version added.
