Charity Bingo Profits Fall Short of Aid to Charity
State Revenue Department data show charities received under 1 percent of nearly 90 million dollars gross from charity bingo in fiscal 1995, with less than 838 thousand dollars going to charity. A department task force found large prizes were underreported and taxes unpaid, estimating 75 percent of big bingo prizes went to out-of-state winners and potential additional state revenue of about 14 million if all prizes were taxed at seven percent. Charity reps blame state taxes for squeezing the games, urging legislative review.
