Avoiding Tax on winnings

[dalzini]

I am off to Vegas this summer and have read that brits are exempt from paying tax on their winnings providing you fill in then necessary documentation, could anyone give me details on how to do this or point me in the direction or a previous post that may have covered this?

Much appreciated

I believe you need an ITIN number

But on a more serious note...............

Dont try and get an ITIN number before you go to Vegas (as this monkey did before his first visit worried they may not let him bring his banana money home with him), you can only apply for an ITIN number after you've won.
