Ask Garth!

Garth, in Australia do you have to pay tax on tournament wins such as the Aussie Millions? I know in Vegas you need to pay the state tax and then the federal tax, but when you come back to Australia you get the fed tax back? Do you know if our government taxes us on poker wins?

In regards to poker winnings. If you declare you occupation as a professional Gambler then you have to pay tax on your winnings and the deductions or claims start becoming a gray area.

Easier to still have an occupation and have poker as a hobby.

just be self employed and do nothing, then u can earn millions playing poker

Fine question Dave, I also have to wonder why I'm reading this carp and not going to sleep. Also Garth (insert mum joke)

Hi Garth,

How did you get SO drunk SO quickly tonight



David

Because I am a goal orientated person and if I do anything I commit 110%!

No, hence why i pre empted it with, "in some casinos" as well as "a ruling can be made for".

There is no way I would ever make that ruling at a regular 888PL tournament.

And if you remember I declared that exposing your hand, when you are last to act and facing an all in can be construed as an intent to call. That's why you must verbally declare a fold before exposing your hand.

Thanks Garth

I remember what you said . Was just wondering if it would be used in our 888pl games ?

But you answered that too thanks
