I was Pretty Surprised how bad this is
Results of WSOP 2015 main event and the tax stopped mainly by the American Government
Winner Before-Tax Prize After-Tax Prize
1. Joe McKeehen $7,683,346 $4,297,394 USA
2. Joshua Beckley $4,470,896 $2,389,177 USA
3. Neil Blumenfield $3,398,298 $1,805,764 USA
4. Max Steinberg $2,615,361 $1,543,306 USA
7. Pierre Neuville $1,203,293 $1,203,293 Belgium
5. Ofer Zvi Stern $1,911,423 $1,011,317 Israel
6. Thomas Cannuli $1,426,283 $785,996 USA
8. Federico Butteroni$1,097,056 $571,566 Italy
9. Patrick Chan $1,001,020 $545,614 USA
Totals $24,806,976 $14,153,427
Only the Belgium guy kept all his winnings whereas everybody else lost 45% or more to tax
Scary figures ,unless you're a tax exempt country it must be borderline impossible to win ?
Possible this will eventually happen in The UK ?

Americans can claim back tax for loses on the fiscal year I believe.
So McKeehan should be freerolling holidays all over the planet for the next 12 months knowing the trips are tax deductable.
The countries where poker is absolutely unbeatable are the ones who just tax each win, like Greece, Spain, Holland, Norway and Sweden.

Yeah I believe some countries tax each win or tax by the month. As an mtt player that would make it downright impossible to win.
As poker is becoming more recognisable as a skill game by the courts it will also be considered a way of living and become taxable. It really is a matter of time before this happens and it will make live poker become ever so more appealing since hotels and flights will become deductible and for another obvious reason.

Pretty stoked obviously since I partially live here and might end up living here permanently one day.

I'm afraid not. Flemish isn't a language
