7(1)A taxable person's net takings in an accounting period for a relevant machine are—U.K.
(a)the takings, less
(b)the payouts.
(2)The takings are the charges that become due at any material time from players for playing dutiable machine games on that machine (irrespective of when the games are played or the prizes are paid out).
(3)The payouts are the prizes (whether cash or non-cash) that are paid out at any material time to players as a result of playing dutiable machine games on that machine (irrespective of when the games are played or the charges become due).

(a)a person who is a registrable person in respect of the premises where the machine is located,
(b)a representative or employee of such a person at those premises, or
(c)a person acting for or at the direction of a person within paragraph (a).
(5)Sub-paragraph (3) does not include prizes paid out unlawfully (for example, a prize paid out to a child or young person in breach of a condition attached to an operating licence by virtue of section 83(1)(b) of the Gambling Act 2005).
(6)If it is not reasonably practicable to attribute charges and prizes to dutiable machine games or to apportion them between dutiable machine games and other games or other activities, any attribution or apportionment is to be done on a just and reasonable basis.
