(Macau).- The government has revised its 2025 forecast for gaming tax revenue, lowering it by 5% due to global economic conditions and changing tourist spending patterns.
According to the newly approved amendment to the 2025 fiscal budget, the government now expects to collect MOP79.8 billion this year from the 35% “special gaming tax” on gross gaming revenue (GGR), down from the original projection of MOP84 billion.
The adjustment follows a similar 5% cut made in June to the city’s overall GGR forecast, which was reduced from MOP240 billion to MOP228 billion.
The budget revision also lowers expected revenue from the 3% levy on GGR allocated to urban development, tourism promotion, and social security.
Authorities now project MOP6.84 billion from that stream, compared to the earlier MOP7.2 billion.
However, projected income from the 2% GGR levy for public funds remains unchanged, as does the MOP100 million estimate from the tax on commissions paid to gaming promoters, or junkets.
Deputy director of the Financial Services Bureau, Ho In Mui, attributed the adjustments to external economic pressures and evolving consumption behaviors among visitors.
