It's true James.
Luckily I work for HMRC - so just transfer 15% of your poker winnings to me on Stars and I'll give you a receipt so you don't go to jail.

This is one of my oldest bugbears.
Why shouldn't a professional gambler who earns over the tax threshhold pay tax?
If our home gets robbed we call the police.
If we get ill we go to the doctors
If we have children they go to school.
15% on 25k+ sounds like a perfectly fair and equitable level of tax.
Shame it's in South Africa really.

Doesn't the argument run along the lines that instead of being paid by the punter after winning, the tax is paid by the bookie from the money they make, as it is logistically much easier to collect tax from a dozen bookmaking companies than X thousand punters.
Of course, this was all pre-internet and now most of the poker companies (and, indeed bookies) are offshore and pay fk all tax of any description.
Prob best to keep quiet lest Doughface Osbourne notices.

The problem with my argument is that people are in Government are too stupid to understand how gambling works and if they tried to tax gamblers we would probably end with a monstrosity like they have in Denmark and Holland.

If you had to pay tax on your winnings, just think of all the people who could claim tax refunds on their losses.
