Pari-Mutuel Winnings

If your business pays pari-mutuel winnings on horse races, you must withhold Minnesota income tax on the winnings if all of these apply:

• You are required to withhold federal income tax
• The payoff of winnings exceeds $5,000 after deducting the bet amount
• The payoff is at least 300 times the bet amount

The withholding rate on pari-mutuel winnings is 9.85%.
