Hi,

I just joined this forum and it wont let me send a messages to people. Could someone please direct Cornie4ever to this thread or give me some advice on how to reach him?

My situation is that I am a Czech citizen but a USA permanent resident. I have lived in the USA almost my whole life, since I was 3. After black friday I went to live in Europe so that I could pull funds out of the sites I play on. While I am here I am also playing some more.

I read about the 183 day non tax resident rule, and I will in fact be in the Czech Republic for less then 183 days before I return to the United States. I am confused on weather or not playing on poker sites that are located outside of the Czech republic counts as income earned in the Czech Republic as per the tax rules.

I also know that the Czech Republic (CR) and the United States not long ago signed a tax treaty to avoid double taxation. Since I pay the social taxes in the United States already and am a permanent resident there the only thing I believe is in question is the 15% flat tax in the CR. Even if I paid that I am almost certain that I Could deduct the amount I pay in the 15% when I pay my US federal taxes. But if I don't even need to pay the Czech taxes because of the 183 day thing that would make things a lot easier and more simple.

Cornie4ever it sounds like you are quite knowledgeable regarding this. I would really appreciate some advice. I would have sent a private message but the system would not allow me to do that.

Hi krtekPS,

Welcome to the English community.

I've forwarded your thread to Pavel (Cornie4ever) and he will be with you soon but you could reach him a little faster if you make a post in the Czech community! :)

Good luck
Ingrid

Hi man,

in case you

(i) don´t spend more than 183 day in Czech Rep and
(ii) do not plan to stay in Czech Rep permanently

you don´t have to worry about Czech taxation.

(On a side note - the taxation of poker is grey zone in Czech, so most of the players do not tax online profits even if they normally live in Czech Rep and are Czech tax resident.)

btw what language do you consider your native? Czech or EN? =) There is an "Ask me thread" for the questions towards me in the Czech forum here.

Cheers,
Pavel


yeey! Cornie is ITT! :) Thanks for popping by fellow CM!


:heart: thanks for stopping by, Pavel. We miss you around here!

My pleasure! ;)


Thanks for the response, that is good news. My main language is English, I can read Czech but do not write too well. I could pick it up pretty quick I think but I have not been doing any reading in Czech while I am here so I am very weak in spelling.


well, I don't know anything in Czech either but maybe you could teach us a sentence?
