can you give us a bit more details on this? I mean more like on gambling taxation in Austria
i elaborated on those ad absurdum.
Fedor Holz bought a place in Vienna during his peak and afaik has his residence in Austria. Tons of german HS MTTers have their residence in Austria and cash to their bank accounts in Austria. I have never spoken to a tax lawyer in Austria.
In Malta everybody you speak to will tell you something different and most will trying to do some sort of business with you where they help you to "avoid"/"reduce" taxes.
It's quite clear that you cannot be taxed on money you don't remit to Malta according to their laws so its fairly save to have a residence in Malta and spend 180days/year++ there while cashing out to offshore bank accounts (those shouldnt be in YOUR country).
I know tons of people in Austria and tons of people in Malta and I'm not aware that any of those are paying taxes on their poker winnings.
100% safety you only have in the UK, Austria probably has 95%, Malta 90%++ but Malta in reality nobody gives a **** anyways whatever you do...
If you want to have really sound information it always makes sense to speak to a tax advisor. Everything i said is personal opinion and not advice in any way
