Five out of six clubs pay more

Five out of six registered clubs on the Peninsula are affected by the new poker machine tax, which came into affect at the start of September.

An advertisement in local and metropolitan newspapers listed the clubs, under a heading stating that two out of three clubs would pay no tax or less tax.

Clubs affected by the new tax on the Peninsula are Ettalong Beach War Memorial, Everglades Country Club, Umina Beach Bowling Club, Ettalong Memorial Bowling Club and Woy Woy District Rugby League Football Club.

Woy Woy Bowling Club will be the only club on the Peninsula to pay less poker machine tax under the new scheme.
