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

[ QUOTE ]
Damn, I wish I remember the exact rules, but as far as I can recall Sweden is just like Denmark with regards to taxes on poker winnings.

Almost the EU rules are the same regarding which sites are taxed, however gambling winnings are taxed with capital gains tax 30%, and thus not contributing to pension.

An intresting note is that each individual pot is considered a play that should be taxed and losses are not deductable. Hence if swedish players were to file their taxes according to the law everyone who played at a non EU would have a huge tax debt.
Taxes= 30% of all pots won - 0 since deductions for pots lost is not allowed.
