Tabcorp used to contribute 4.7% of turnover to racing. However, with the arrival of corporate bookmakers, a new law has been passed imposing a 1,5% fee on turnover for the use of race data. Racing New Sourth Wales argues that Tabcorp would also have to pay this 1,5%, lifting its total contribution to 6,2% of turnover.

Tabcorp currently contributed AUS$226 million last year and would have to pay an additional AUS$33 million for race data.

The race data legislation is currently being challenged in court by Betfair and Matthew Tripp's Sportsbet. They prefer to pay a share of gross profit instead of a percentage of turnover.
