    Viktor Blom may have a big tax bill

    From Dagens Industri
    --
    Igår presenterade Dagens Industri uppgifter om att svenska pokerproffet Isildur 1, Viktor Blom från Dals Ed, riskerar en skattesmäll på uppemot en miljard kronor.

    Skatteverkets expert i frågan, Dag Hardyson, tillika ansvarig för ett specialprojekt kring 109 nätpokerföretag, bekräftar att svenska pokerproffs måste skatta för sina vinster. Men bara under förutsättning att spelandet har skett utanför EU/-EES-regionen.

    Dag Hardyson vill inte kommentera om Isildur-frågan är under utredning eller ej. Men att man känner till Isildur råder ingen tvekan om:

    – Han är pokervärldens motsvarighet till Zlatan. Så vem känner inte till honom, säger Dag Hardyson till Realtid.se.

    Skatteverkets regler säger alltså att svenska pokerproffs som spelar inom EU- eller EES-regionen inte behöver skatta för vinsterna. Spelar man utanför dessa områden/regioner gäller 30 procents skatt.

    Artikeln fortsätter nedan

    Annons:
    En rad uppgifter gör gällande att Isildur har spelat via något som kallas Fulltiltpoker.

    Enligt Dag Hardyson är Fulltiltpoker något som rent rättsligt betraktas som om det ligger utanför EU-/EES-området. Detta trots att spelsajten först har haft sitt säte på Auruba i Västindien, som tillhör Nederländerna, och numera körs via Alderney, som tillhör britterna.

    Huruvida Isildur har spelat via Fulltiltpoker eller ej vill inte Dag Hardyson kommentera.

    Enligt DI är en vanligt återkommande uppgift på pokersajter att Viktor Bloms spelande omsatt 30 miljarder kronor.

    Under förutsättning att Viktor Blom verkligen har spelat via Fulltiltpoker och även vunnit sådana summor som det talas om kan han bli skyldig svenska staten uppemot en miljard kronor i skatt.

    Väljer Skatteverket att slå till mot Viktor Blom är det inte första gången svenska pokerproffs hamnar i bråk med Skatteverket. Enligt Expressen har exempelvis Martin de Knijff fått en skattesmäll på tio miljoner kronor och Daniel Larsson en miljon kronor. Men detta ligger alltså inte ens i närheten av vad Viktor Blom skulle kunna få betala.

    Viktor Blom är utflyttad från Sverige sedan den 2 november 2010. Idag är han skriven på en adress i London.

    Here's an English translated version (very poorly, sorry)

    Tax: "Isildur is poker's Zlatan "
    Tax would not comment on it investigates poker pro Isildur1, but you obviously have an eye on him, Isildur is poker's Zlatan, "said Day Hardyson on Tax.
    How the rules surrounding pokerproffsets billion
    Game Wins EU / EEA region is tax free. It is a trial of a Bingo-Lotto-profit behind this practice.
    A woman living in Åland stole money from the Swedish lottery and tax assessments increased later by the Finnish equivalent to the tax.
    Would she rather have won the corresponding profit in Finland, she had been relieved of duty. The Court decided that the latter is the case in Finland also will apply throughout the EU and EEA.
    All gambling outside these regions are subject still to tax under national rules.
    Yesterday presented Dagens Industri reported that Swedish pokerproffet Isildur 1, Viktor Floral from Dals Ed, risks a skattesmäll of up to one billion dollars.
    Tax expert on the issue, Day Hardyson, who is also responsible for a special project around 109 online poker company, confirms that the Swedish professional poker player must estimate their gains. But only if the gambling took place outside the EU / EEA region.
    Day Hardyson would not comment on Isildur-matter under investigation or not. But that feeling of Isildur is no doubt:
    - He is poker's equivalent of Zlatan. So who does not know him, "says Day Hardyson to Realtid.se.
    Tax rules saying that Swedish poker pro who plays in the EU / EEA region do not have to pay tax for profits. If you play outside those areas / regions, 30 percent tax.
    A number of data argue that Isildur has played through something called the Full Tilt Poker.
    According to Day Hardyson Full Tilt Poker is something that, legally speaking, be considered as if it is outside the EU / EEA. This is despite the game site first had its seat at Auruba in the Caribbean, belonging to the Netherlands, and now runs through Alderney, which belongs to the British.
    Whether Isildur has played through the Full Tilt Poker or not would not date Hardyson comment.
    According to DI is a commonly recurring role on the poker sites that Victor Blom gambling traded 30 billion.
    Provided that Viktor Flowers really have played through the Full Tilt Poker, and also won such sums as it talks about can he be guilty Swedish state upwards of one billion in taxes.
    Selects Tax to crack down on Victor Blom is not the first time Swedish poker pros end up in trouble with the Tax Office. According to Expressen, for example, Martin de Knijff received a skattesmäll of ten million and Daniel Larsson, a million dollars. But this is not anywhere near what Victor Blom might have to pay.
    Victor Flowers are moved from Sweden since 2 November 2010. Today he is written in an address in London.
