The Macau government collected MOP$25.8 billion (US$3.20 billion) in gaming taxes in the three months to 31 March 2026, representing a 15.9% increase from the same period last year.

According to latest data from the Financial Services Bureau, the Q1 figure included gaming tax of MOP$8.87 billion (US$1.10 billion) in March, up 2.1% month-on-month and 11.4% higher than in March 2025.

The March tax figure correlates to Macau’s gross gaming revenues for the month of February, when GGR came in at MOP$20.6 billion (US$2.56 billion) – up 4.5% year-on-year.

As per the data, total government revenue for 2026 to date now stands at MOP$28.7 billion (US$3.56 billion), with gaming tax accounting for 89.8% of the total.

The government has announced an annual budget of MOP$92.5 billion (US$11.5 billion) for gaming duty revenue in FY26, meaning tax for the first three months of 2026 has reached 27.9% of the budget.
