Macau’s government collected nearly MOP81.53 billion (approximately US$10.09 billion) in gaming tax revenue from January through October 2026, an increase of 5.2% compared with the same period last year. The figures were released by the city’s Financial Services Bureau.
October gaming tax receipts were just over MOP6.96 billion, down 17% month on month from MOP8.39 billion in September. Gaming taxes accounted for 84.1% of Macau’s current government revenue in the first ten months of the year.
Context for market analysis
The government expects to collect slightly more than MOP92.53 billion in gaming taxes for 2026, meaning the year-to-date total had reached 88.1% of its target by October 31. The tax-receipt figure should not be treated as equivalent to casino GGR for the same period because tax payments may be recorded after the underlying gaming revenue is generated.
