The Star Entertainment Group has reached a settlement with the Australian Taxation Office regarding historic tax liabilities. The agreement resolves disputes over Goods and Services Tax and withholding tax on payments made to junket operators.
Resolution of Tax Disputes
The resolution addresses long-standing disagreements concerning the tax treatment of funds distributed to junket operators. The Star Entertainment Group and the ATO finalized the terms regarding Goods and Services Tax obligations and withholding tax procedures.
This financial resolution occurs under the company's current management structure. Bally’s Corporation and Investment Holdings acquired the operator last year, bringing new leadership to the organization. The settlement represents a strategic step for the newly managed group to finalize historical financial matters.
