Pokerstars - Paying taxes if you live in denmark
I was wondering how it works if you live in Denmark and cash-out on pokerstars? Since the site doesn't have an EU license you are supposed to pay taxes, but how does it work? How are the rules for other european countries?

well, you simply put it on your Tax return (selvangivelse) as a secondary income. Contact SKAT for more information, they'll probaly be more than happy to help :-)

What happens if you don't put it on your tax return?

I'm not from Denmark, but I'm going to guess that you'd be breaking the law, and the tax man will hunt you down if he sees any suspicious stuff going on in your bank account.
That's how it goes everywhere else. Mind you the govt doesnt really care about small fry players (US & Canadian at least)- unless you're making a living wage playing poker I'm not sure I'd even worry about it. |

Wait ! Does this mean that I - as a European playing on Stars - am better off playing on Party for example ?

Maybe it's a plan to "forward" your winnings from Pokerstars to PartyPoker and then cash-out on your bankaccount.
PartyPoker has an EU license and according to EU policy you don't have to pay taxes. I'm not 100% sure about this, so maybe someone can confirm this? |

Move to France! Games of chance aren't taxed here; as long as you have another 'official' source of income to declare.
So that's me done with step 1. Step 2. Learn not to lose. [That one still needs some work.] |
