Well I'm back in wet old Nottingham. That Caesars Tourny was good, got 3rd for $688 (less 30% tax eeek) and a 4th at Plaza for $210 to end up going home with nearly the same money I went with, got to echo other posts elsewhere, Caesers are the best value for those of us on a limited budget,,,
I thought Brits were exempt from tax?
Me too. Most Casinos paid in chips but Caesars insisted on cash and all wins over $600 have to be signed for with USA resoidents completing a form which is forwarded to the IRS (with nothing witheld) and non residents getting 30% withheld. Certainly made the decision of how much to tip easier.
The cardroom guy reckoned it was straightforward for Brits to claim back. I shall soon find out
Teach me not to consider I could win more than $600 at one time
and get a ITIN number before playing
