It's so hard to figure out definite answers to poker taxes in Europe. About almost every country you hear atleast 2 different answers.
So basically the judgment confirms that all poker winnings from an EU based site are tax-free
But that was already pretty much known; the legal team for the taxman had argued Pokerstars was based outside the EU in the Isle of Man. It was ruled they are based in Malta as that's where they have the .EU licence etc.
Taxman had a right to appeal; not sure if they still do.
