Basic information
The betting office tax is a subtype of the Bremen amusement tax and has been levied in Bremen and Bremerhaven since July 1, 2017 on the basis of the Bremen Amusement Tax Act (VergnStG). The betting office tax is subject to the operation of a betting office in which the brokering and tracking of bets is possible.
For tax purposes, betting offices are therefore betting agencies which, in addition to accepting betting slips, for example at betting machines, terminals or similar betting facilities, also enable betting results to be followed on screens.

The tax is 60 euros per screen in the betting office per calendar month or part thereof.
A screen is any fixed or mobile electric display that allows to follow betting events or betting results. The screen can be an independent device or part of a device.

The tax is levied by the operator of the betting office and must be submitted by the 10th day after the end of the calendar month for the previous month on the officially prescribed form "Wettbürosteuer-Anmeldung" and the "Anlage zur Wettbürosteuer-Anmeldung ".
