Default Re: EEC: Poker-tax in UK compared to Denmark

darinvg,

No. In fact, you can't really move to any first-world country. Welcome to life.

john kane,

That is about becoming a citizen after 6 years of living in Britain with a resident permit. Not what is being discussed here.

You can become a long-term tourist. The UK is easy to move to, especially if you're from a reasonably respectable country.

OP is from Denmark, and so can enter, live, stay, work, buy a house etc. anywhere in Europe (EU)

All gambling winnings (which also includes some financial derivatives) are tax-free in the UK.

If OP is just going to play poker, then why limit yourself to the UK. Go and live somewhere warmer, dryer, with nicer food and friendlier people, and no poker tax.

There must be 100s of places to choose from and bumming around there long-term is not often such a hassle.
