A Missouri Sports Betting bill on Monday cleared the House General Laws Committee, and one of its provisions is a doozy: It calls for an “entry and facilities infrastructure fee” to be funded with an off-the-top cut from all legal sports bets — in order to pay for the construction and upkeep of private or commercial stadiums in the state.

This 0.6% fee on total betting handle would come in addition to a 0.25% “royalty” — aka “integrity fee” — included in the bill, combining for what amounts to a large 0.85% off-the-top tax benefiting sports leagues directly and indirectly, in exchange for nothing.

“Just so that everyone understands, the tax assessment here … between the royalty fee and the stadium fee, 0.85% would translate to a 17% tax rate,” state Rep. John Carpenter explained to the Missouri Times. “I’m willing to support a compromise, but this compromise has a 17% tax rate that isn’t going to go to the state.”
