im sure there lots of players on sky who make there sole income playing poker,

how do you register this as your full time job and do you have to pay tax on your winnings?

1267

Poker (or any form of gambling ) winnings are tax free.

Poker money isint taxed even if you play it for a living. Its not a job

Hi Rock,

Just to put your mind at rest this has been discussed many times before and there is clear mention of this in the UK tax guide and at present there is no tax liabality.

It is also not not likely to change due to the fact most players are losing money and the goverment do want to open a can of worms of a flood of people putting in refund cliams for losing.

Of course with online poker very easy to show any investergation where the money has come from

Hope this helps

and stay away from 1267's tables lol
