Moving to Aruba/Cancun/Australia tax/residency questions

[ QUOTE ]
Well jeez I would have but since you came on here asking for opinions, I gave one. Not my fault you didn't like it.

I don't remember seeing anything along the lines of "don't post If you think I won't like the answer"

It's ok, I don't feel like getting into a pissing match with some 22 year old who's main thing in life is poker. Judging from past posts of yours, you are talented in the poker field but are lacking in other areas of life.


It's a shame you can't take criticsism.

Again, don't be so cheap and get the correct answer from a proffesional who knows the answer.

If i had a question about poker I wonder if I would get reliable and correct info If i posted on a porn forum.
And then of course I would act on it without getting proffesional advice because they must be right.

But if I was getting proffesional and correct advice to begin with why would I bother posting on an internet forum?

Microbob made a point that there will be some posters who will know what they are talking about but there is no way for you to know who is correct unless you know what you were taling about, in which case you wouldn't have asked the questions in the 1st place.

edit-actually after reading the tone of my post I guess I don't have anything better to do then get into a pissing match at the moment

You are really rude.

have you been to Aruba? do you have family there?

I couldn't imagine spending any prolonged amount of time there - it's not very interesting.

agreed. but I would get real tired of it after a while - like 2 weeks. it's basically like going to Florida, except they have a different currency and some people speak a different language. it's so Americanized and small that it would get claustrophobic.

If I'm filing a Schedule C as a self-employed, is my income not earned income regardless?

I thought about moving to Aruba, Mexico, Costa Rica, or Europe in a year or two to experience life in another country and get an awesome $80k tax-free bonus.

Sure, you still owe taxes after the $80k, but if you move to a country where internet gambling isn't taxed, you aren't paying them any taxes either. The savings plus decreased cost of living is huge.

Let me know what you find out as I'm seriously considering doing this after I spend some time living in Vegas.

The more money you make, the less big a deal the 80K exemption becomes because you cant deduct half of your SE tax anymore. But its still a break nonetheless.

who cares if mexico taxes gambling earnings, how will they ever find out you are plaiyng poker in your apartment?

As far as residency goes in Australia, it would be tough to organise, although you should be able to get tourist visa's for 6 months, quick trip to Asia or New Zealand, and then you get another tourist visa.

Great country, plenty to see. Nice people, but then I'm biased [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Not too sure on the tax stuff though but I would say that the situation would be favourable.

Higher cost of living than your other options.

Cheers,
Granite

Rude, perhaps. I can't help it, it happens when I'm right.

He asked a question, got an answer he didn't like and told me to keep my opinions to myself. That's when I got rude.

It reminds me of when my 3 year old daughter asks a question or asks for a cookie, doesn't like the answer she is given and then goes and asks someone else the same question. The answer doesn't change.

Maybe I was a bit overboard in 1 of my comments after I was told to keep my opinions to myself, so for that I apoligize, but then again I am dealing with an "adult" who should be able to take criticism.


The point is, he's asking a question where he's not going to get a correct answer. One or more of the posters may be correct, but how is he going to determine who gives the correct answer and who gives the wrong one?

He can't and won't be able to unless he picks up a phone and calls a goverment agency or lawyer or whatever professional he needs to to get the corect answer. (did I spell that right? Don't wanna get corrected again)

Is he going to base a life altering decison on the information he recieves on a poker forum? (No, he's not)
So since he is going to end up talking to someone who will have the correct answers for him, why bother posting this question to begin with?

He'll save time and headaches by simply picking up the phone.

I'm curious about why you picked those three countries. Was the tax treatment of poker by those governments the primary motivator?
