I can't believe it, I am not a gambler, just buys the odd scratch card and lottery ticket now and then. I only Spent just £1 and I won.

The question is........ Will I be taxed on it? :eek:

EDIT: I DO NOT CLAIM ANY BENEFITS !!

If its a large win, then your obviously worried about whether you will be taxed, just send me the scratchcard, and you wont have any more worries.

NO I AM NOT !

WE get Child Benefit and that is it!!! We no longer qualify for tax credits, even though they still pay us £11 or so a week, we stash it to another bank, have rung them and written to them, p!!! take!

I never won near 1mil

i dont think you will be taxed on it. But, you say you are not a benefits claiment? you claim child benefit, so you are . Why are the tax credits people still paying you if you no longer qualify?? Good luck with your win though.

If we classes child benefit as being 'on benefits' then half the working population of the country are all 'on benefits' too lol.

You don't pay tax on winnings from the National Lottery.

FYI: Even though the standard betting tax was abolished several years ago, a tax on National Lottery tickets still remains. It's 12% of the ticket price. So you already paid your tax when you bought your ticket. It's why some people call it a tax on the poor.
