If your making enough money playing poker to consider moving out of the country to avoid paying taxes on your 1st 80K of income heres a tip... hire an ACCOUNTANT or a LAWYER or whoever to get the answer. You obviously have the money to do so.

Your going to do this anyway right? I mean your not going to just get your info from an internet message board and say that "Joe Schmoe" said this and this so it must be true.

And I really hope your not just going to "google" the info to save a few bucks on what could be a life altering decision.

I've never understood why people ask comlicated legal questions in regards to taxes, citizenship etc on an internet poker forum A) You are goiing to get 16 different answers B) 16 out of the 16 answers will be wrong because everyone is an expert on the subject c) If you make possible life altering decisons such as not paying taxes or moving to a different country etc based on what you read here well you are an idiot. ( Not calling you an idiot, just making a point)

The "Do I have to pay taxes in Canada" thread is a perfect example of this.

If your not completely nuts and are going to hire a proffesional whatever to answer your questions correctly then why bother posting here in the 1st place? You are going to get so much incorrect information that any correct answers you recieve will be mixed in with all the junk.

Also heres another thought to ponder: Is it worth it to save 25K a year in taxes or whatever your tax rate is (I don't know your tax rates cause I live in Canada) to move to a different country, leave your friends and family behind and have a different quality of life?
