Tax Free Winnings

Hi, I am trying to find out if online poker winnings are still untaxable in the UK, and if there are any upper limits to what I can transfer from my poker site into my UK bank without it being taxed. I am a British citizen and poker is not my job, I just got lucky.

    Winnings are not taxable. Appearance and sponsorship fees are taxable.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
