How to behave in case of winning?

Rejoice, of course! And pay taxes. Why? Winning is income. This means that individuals are obliged to pay taxes.

How is the tax calculated?

The tax is levied on the positive difference between the winnings and your bets. Important: not for each visit, but at the end of the year. So, if you won at the Boomerang casino, at the Sochi Casino or in the Bonus Slots gaming hall, do not forget to pay taxes (and sleep peacefully!) According to Russian law, this must be done independently.

What percentage?

All information about cash transactions is automatically sent to the OFD system. And from there it is available to the tax service. If you are "in the black" at the end of the year, the tax amount will be 13% of the winnings (with a total income of up to 5 million rubles) or 15% (with an income over 5 million rubles) and 30% for non-residents of the Russian Federation.

How to pay tax on winnings?

You need to file a tax return yourself or pay tax based on a notification from the Federal Tax Service. Documents that confirm your winnings and your betting expenses: cash receipts and bank statements.

Personal responsibility

Collection and storage of documents to confirm winnings and expenses when participating in gambling is carried out by the casino guest independently. The tax payment deadline is no later than December 1 following the expired tax period.
