I am advised by Revenue that Betting Duty is charged on all bets placed by a person with a Licensed Bookmaker (Traditional Licence), a Licensed Remote Bookmaker (Remote Licence) or a Licensed Remote Betting Intermediary (Commissions Licence). The rate of Betting Duty charged on bets placed with holders of a Traditional and/or Remote Licence is 2%, while the rate of Betting Duty applicable to commissions charged by licensed intermediaries is 25%.
