You can pay, but then someone gonna ask why you have money if you dont work.

From poker? Even if you are honest and paying, they still would not like?

I think she meant social payments like health insurance and retirement kind of stuff
Taxes from poker does not exists in Poland, you just cant pay them even if you want.

The weather in Denmark is pretty much the same as in London, but it's tax free and in Aarhus there are a pretty big poker community with a poker office etc. The living expences is probably lower due the high taxes for "working people", and probably some of the most beautifull girls in the world!

Do you pay any tax when you withdraw from pokerstars or any other gambling site?

Nop. The amount I want to withdraw is the exact amount I get. So I guess if I was paying taxes they would keep automatically some money on each withdraw I make?

So how online poker is not tax free?

Denmark is absolutely awesome. But is it really tax free now? I recall few years ago some dude got sentenced for not paying taxes on his winnings.

It doesn't make sense that regular residents pay up to 35% tax, and if you own a company you can withdraw the money at a total of 5% tax only?

Why doens't all the residents open up their own companies then? Although I've read some stuff about it, I can't find any detailed information about it.

If it is true that you'll end up with only paying 5% tax, then Malta is defo an interesting option.

It's for foreigners. You basically create 2 companies, one gets the dividends of the other one, and you prevent yourself from paying 6/7th of the 35%, so 5%. It's 100% legal, I know people that do it, but I decided that it wasn't worth it for me since you pay a few fees on top of the 5%. I can't explain you in details as it doesn't interest me for now, however, I could give you the contact of the guy that is busy with my legal situation here. If you wish so, friend me. (As far as I remember I can't give you contact details in public)

I don't play poker for a livng, so I don't know for sure, but a couple years ago they made a system called "nem-id", you get a card with some codes that you need to log-in to gambling sites with danish license and to pay-out you have to do it through your ID, so I think they register whenever you recieve money. And then you probably have to make a yearly summary if you have made money on sites without dansih license, of which you need to pay about 50% in taxes.

@NightFrostaSS
The tax system for gambling have changed not too long ago (a year or two), so either it was before that, or it could have been from a site without danish gambling license.

Could you add me on Skype and inform me about this.
I will be moving out of Belgium permanently within 2 years and Malta is certainly one of the spots I highly consider...
it's just that so many ppl say different things and it's hard to get answers on maltese sites/accountants directly ...

Austria:
Poker is not as clearly regulated like in UK, Gib or Malta but for a non-regulated-profession-country its probably a good tip ;) I could forward everybody interested to tax consultants/experts specializing in gambling if anybody considers Austria. Also, Vienna obv being the future world domination HQ ...

Those are the countries I have my best tax consulting networks right now.

TwiceT add me to Skype plz to sharet hat info about Malta, tx ;)

An update with comparison of former Yugoslav republics would be appreciated... as of now, Croatia looks the nuts to me as it's on the way to the Schengen zone but isn't there right now so I may sneak in and buy an apartment there (= guaranteed EU residence = taxfree poker income - it's been taxfree in Croatia even before the EU) before the gate becomes tougher to pass for Russians given the Crimean crisis :f_rolleyes:
