Someone will tell what kind of tax to win. for example, I won $ 1,000,000 as much as I actually take? the state receives taxes from winnings, and if I lose, the state does not give me compensation. why such injustice?

Because the state educates you so smart that you earn a lot of money, and then earn on you, and not because you earn money on it

for each transaction, the state is taxing you, just as a state manages to maintain and provide facilities further, through taxes the state offers you an anachronism

Do you live in USA? I live in finland, and gambling wins (poker included) are tax free. I am not 100% sure but I think that is the case in all EU-countries because of ETA.

In Russia, poker is legal only in two gambling zones. online poker is illegal. Therefore, the state can not claim your winnings. But I do not know how you do with this in Kazakhstan.

If you do not like the laws in your country, you can go live in another country.

you think that it is unfair that you are taxed when you win money in poker, but on the other hand you have many options not to do it! for example, if you do not like the law of the country in which you live, you can move to a country where you do not need to pay tax for winning! for example in Finland))

Taxes are established for the following purposes:
- Replenishment of local, regional and federal budgets;
- mandatory payments ensure the functioning of the state apparatus, army, police, educational and medical centers;
- an important direction of spending the tax component of the budget is the development of transport and social infrastructure, the content of the foreign economic apparatus.

Because the government doesn't produce welath, it only redistributes it. I'm sure your government know much better how to spend your money than you do. This is the whole reason we have a Democratic Party here in the USA..

I think it was Benjamin Franklin that said "There were only two things certain in life: death and taxes".

You show it to the Tax Inspectorate, how much money you have invested in the reporting period. The tax will be taken from the cash-out minus the money spent. At us so.

If you are playing poker for a living, you should be able to claim your losses on your taxes. If you win a million at some point you'll probably be paying taxes on it since your buy-ins for the year will not not be anywhere near that. Either way, you are able to claim your losses on your taxes, if this is your job.

Look at my dear, I think it's just right for the government to deduct taxes. After all we all have rights and duties, and to have the rights before we have to do our duties! contributing taxes is one of them, so that every citizen can have his or her guaranteed right!

I always thought the same as you , why if I win I have to pay taxes but if I lose I dont get any compensation ... doesn't seem fair at all.
But, if you roll high amount of $ on poker and you have to pay tax on the country
you live it might be wise and profitable to move somewhere else were you don't have to pay
taxes so you have more money :D ;)

Вы живете в США? Я живу в Финляндии, и выигрыши в азартных играх (включая покер) не облагаются налогом. Я не уверен на 100%, но я думаю, что это происходит во всех странах ЕС из-за ETA.
In some European countries, the tax on any winnings reaches the 50% mark.

Don't know your country, but if you can, Vote. Don't forget to pay your taxes anyway. Why live life looking over your shoulder.

I always thought it was silly to tax pseudo winnings when it is impossible to win when gaming.
