    Anchor pays VAT on takings from the fruit machine in Denham Garden Village - ProProfs

    Anchor pays VAT on takings from the fruit machine in Denham Garden Village

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A bit of a trick question. Takings from fruit machines are subject to a special tax called Machine Games Duty (MGD), instead of VAT. The rate of MGD that you pay depends on how much it costs to play the machine. If it costs 20p or less to play, the rate is 5%, for games between 21p and £5, it's 20% and for anything over £5 it's 25%. The machine in Denham is a middle of the road one, so we pay MGD at 20%.
