    Gambling site Affiliate tax isses

    Hi i have been reading through a thread on here about tax on gambling and wondered if anyone could help shed some light on my issue.

     I currently play Poker full time online in the uk. I also have an affiliate with the poker site to bring new players to the site.

    My commissions are totalling close to $5k a month and this is getting paid into my poker account (same place where my bankroll for playing with is)

     I understand i dont have to pay tax on my earnings through gambling but..as my commisions is also getting paid into the same account i have a few questions...

    Will i have to pay tax on my commissions ? If so how can this be traceable? Also if it is getting paid into my poker account will it be easy for me to to decide how of this is declarded as earnings from commission and liable for tax.

    yes its taxable. whether u declare it or not is up to you. If you DON'T, and they subseqently catch you, expect a damn good thrashing.

    You might also fall foul of the fact that if they start to regard your gambling as 'running a business', your actual gambling winnings may become taxable too. Shocker, I know.

    many thanks for ur opinion on  the subject...

     having read on the inland revenues home site they declare that gambling isnt classed as running as business and they accept that soime form of strategy is used to make a living but obv you cannot be tax as this would therefore mean recovering losses as well

     

    thanks for ur post
