More and more New Zealand players decide to play casino online<\/a> these days. It\u2019s no surprise, considering the convenience of this particular type of entertainment. But is it as straightforward as it seems to be? What about legal obligations, such as paying taxes on casino winnings<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I Have To Pay Taxes On Online Casino Winnings In NZ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, online casinos used by NZ players are not licensed or regulated by the NZ government. This means that your winnings are not subject to taxation in New Zealand<\/strong>, as operators of your choice are not based in the country but overseas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gambling Act 2003 <\/strong>clearly states the rules of gambling in New Zealand – no online casinos are allowed to be registered as NZ operators, hence officially there is no such phenomenon in the location. But using foreign online casinos is not illegal either – hence you can play with trusted operators and not be bothered about any taxes!<\/p>\n\n\n

\r\n \r\n See the list of licensed NZ online casinos > <\/a>\r\n <\/div> \r\n \n\n\n

What Countries Do Have To Pay Taxes On Winnings At Online Casinos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taxation on gambling wins differs from country to country<\/strong>. One good example of the country that\u2019s strict about taxes on winnings generated at online casinos is\u2026 Germany<\/strong>. For online casino and online poker, general VAT law applies and the gross gaming revenue is taxed at 19%, sports bets are taxed at the rate of 5% of the stake and lotteries are taxed at 20% of the stake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the time, however, online casino players can enjoy tax-free entertainment. However, it\u2019s always recommended to ensure that\u2019s true to one\u2019s particular case before gambling real money!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
