Taxes

What should you do if you win?

Celebrate, of course!
And pay taxes.
Why? Because winnings are considered income. This means individuals are required to pay taxes on them.

How are taxes calculated?

Taxes are levied on the positive difference between winnings and bets. Important: This calculation is not done for each visit, but rather at the end of the year. If you win at Boomerang Casino, Casino Sochi, or Bonus Slots slot machine hall, remember to pay your taxes (and enjoy peace of mind!). Under Russian law, you must do this yourself.

What is the percentage?

All information about cash transactions is automatically sent to the OFD system. From there, it is available to the tax service. If you end the year with a profit, the tax amount will be 13% of your winnings for total income up to 5 million rubles, 15% for income over 5 million rubles, or 30% for non-residents of the Russian Federation.

How do you pay tax on winnings?

You must file a tax return or pay taxes based on a notification from the Federal Tax Service.

Documents confirming your winnings and betting expenses include cash receipts and bank statements.

Personal responsibility

The casino guest is responsible for collecting and storing documents confirming winnings and expenses incurred while participating in gambling. The deadline to pay taxes is December 1 of the year after the tax period ends.
