Taxa pe cistigurile WSOP pt Romania

[sever]

Anyone from Romania without an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) is subject to 30% tax withholding up front. You can apply for an ITIN in the payout office. While the process takes 7-10 weeks, you will be given a receipt on site which will exempt you from the withholding.


All the best,

Later edit:

Romania is not on the list of countries whose tax treaty with the United States exempts gambling winnings. From IRS Publication 515:

Quote:
Tax treaties. Gambling income of residents (as defined by treaty) of the following foreign countries is not taxable by the United States: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Russia, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.

You are out of luck, and 30% of any winnings will be withheld and you can't get the money back from the casino or the IRS. (There's no reason to apply for an ITIN.) If your income is subject to income tax in Romania, you likely can claim a tax credit for any tax paid in the US on your Romanian income tax return.

what's Individual Tax Identification Number?

[CashVampire]

something you can apply for in the payout office. si p'orma you will be given a receipt on site which will exempt you from the withholding.

asta ii ca sa nu fie impozitare duble pe castiguri ?

am o intrebare concreta pt ca nu sunt f lamurit in ceea ce priveste taxele de la wsop. as aprecia daca mi-ar raspunde chiar jucatori care au fost acolo si stiu SIGUR , banuiesc ca exista membri pe forum. inteleg ca aceste castiguri de la wsop se impoziteaza de statul american cu 30%. intrebarea mea este: odata ajuns in romania mai platesti vreo taxa? daca da, cat?

In mod normal nu, e venit facut in afara Romaniei si cu USA exista tratat de evitare a dublei impuneri. Mai bine aplici online la un TIN number, cred ca se poate. Eu mi-am facut acolo, dar a durat cam 3 saptamani pana l-am primit.

[Brici]

nu prea sunt in tema. odata aplicat la acest TIN number, daca il primesti, ce se intampla ulterior? platesti taxe mai mici? daca da, cat?

Sever, o mai fi de actualitate ce a zis Alan?
Am cercetat putin problema, am dat telefoane la Venetian si Ceasars (de la Venetian astept call back monday cand afla mai multe detalii, la Ceasars mi-a spus ca nu se poate).

Se pare ca Romania are un tratat de double taxation avoidance agreement cu US dar nu si cand vine vorba de castigurile din gambling. Very annoying imo.

Asta e raspunsul lui Russ Fox , un contabil cu experienta pe gambling:

Cum putem sa dam de cineva cu experienta in astea de la WSOP sa le cerem parerea lor si daca intr-adevar faza cu ITIN e valabila?
