(AsiaGameHub) – Macau’s gaming tax receipts reached just over MOP9.07 billion, equivalent to roughly $1.12 billion, in April, based on fresh data released by the Financial Services Bureau.
The April figure was 2.3% higher than the MOP8.87 billion logged in March. Over the first four months of 2026, Macau has gathered MOP34.87 billion in gaming tax revenue, a 16.9% increase compared with the same stretch last year.
Gaming Still Drives Most Of Macau Revenue
Casino-related taxes remain the primary pillar of Macau’s public finances. Gaming taxes accounted for nearly 86.5% of the MOP40.30 billion in current government revenue recorded through April 30.
Under the 10-year concession system effective since January 1, 2023, Macau levies an effective 40% tax on casino gross gaming revenue, with the six concessionaires operating within this framework.
Nevertheless, tax receipts do not correspond directly to casino GGR for the same calendar period. Payments typically arrive at government offices after operators report GGR, so the figures may reflect timing differences between gaming activity and tax registration.
For the full 2026 year, the government projects gaming tax revenue of nearly MOP92.53 billion. The MOP34.87 billion collected in the first four months already represents approximately 37.9% of that annual target.
