Poker winning in canada - Page 6

Poker players are already very heavily taxed by the poker sites / casinoes (often more than half the income goes to rake)

I think it should be taxed. Retail investing in stocks or forex is taxed where i live and its pretty much the same with poker.

When u played a live home game with 0 rake for a long time u would appreciate the difference too

In my eyes the online players get taxed twice

Ye, up to 1000$ per day for that service back when i played online with high volume

Pretty insane

And then neteller/moneybookers take their fee

And then 50% tax on whatever is left after that in my country - Poker players getting so screwed over here lolol

Nope what i have now is much better, no rake, no neteller, no regs, no 3-betting, no HUD, no buttoning, no game theory optimal, no variance =))

Sixth place finisher and Quebec resident Marc-Etienee McLaughlin faces a complex tax situation, but as Fox points out, his home city has one of the highest marginal tax rates in Canada at 50%. Taking that into account, McLaughlin is likely to owe $792,935 on his $1,601,024.

oh no he only gets $800k

I thought there were no taxes?

Well, if they tax the poker site you are inderectly being taxed, and then again when withdrawing. Works in the real world like that too though, u get taxed on your income and whenever you buy anything (lol fucking taxes, and lefist by extension)
