博彩公司Flutter Entertainment宣布计划在英国和爱尔兰部门裁员至多1,400人1，涉及利兹、都柏林、桑德兰、葡萄牙波尔图和罗马尼亚克卢日等多地员工1。该公司将这一举措归咎于英国财政大臣Rachel Reeves实施的博彩税上调1。英国和爱尔兰地区的国内市场受冲击最大，该地区共雇用8,960人，裁员占其10%以上1。
Flutter预期此轮裁员将产生9,000万美元（6,730万英镑）的一次性成本1。该公司首席执行官Kevin Harrington表示："博彩税的大幅提高从根本上改变了英国受监管博彩业的经济模式"1。根据新税政，远程博彩税从21%上升至40%，在线体育博彩税从15%上升至25%1。英国博彩业每年从英国博彩者手中获得130亿英镑1。市场方面，Flutter在美国早盘交易中股价上涨超过2%1。
Flutter Entertainment, the owner of Paddy Power, announced plans to eliminate up to 1,400 positions across its UK and Ireland operations in response to significant tax increases implemented by UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves 1. The gaming company attributed the restructuring directly to higher betting levies, which it said have fundamentally altered the economics of regulated gambling in the sector 1.
The tax changes represent substantial increases: remote betting tax rose from 21% to 40%, while online sports betting tax climbed from 15% to 25% 1. Flutter, which employs 8,960 people across the UK and Ireland 1, expects the redundancies to affect staff based in Leeds, Dublin, Sunderland, Porto, and Cluj 1. The affected operations represent more than 10% of the company's domestic workforce in the region 1. Chief Executive Kevin Harrington stated that "the significant increase in betting taxes has fundamentally changed the economic model of the regulated betting industry in the UK" 1.
The company projects the restructuring will incur a one-time cost of $90 million, equivalent to £67.3 million 1. Despite the announced cuts, Flutter's share price rose more than 2% in early US trading 1.
