Running an online competition ~ is it legal
Im thinking of running a competition from my website, charging a £1/1€ entry and the winner would get a portrait, worth about £100/100€... I would do it in the way that entrants would have to answer questions, but have to look at my website the find the answers (well I think)
now im not sure how legal this is, the website is not really spanish ... and though im living here, im not a resident.... and it would be aimed at people in the UK... gawd its complicated.... Has anyone done anything like this?... I often see people running raffles over here.. and wondered if like the UK you have to have a licence for it.... |

You should ask a good intentional solicitor; one who knows about internet law. |

I believe it is based on where you spend the majority of your time. If you spend over 6 months in Spain you have to pay your taxes here, never mind where your server in placed or where your customers are.
Who mentioned tax? |

You may still pay tax in UK but that's not the defining factor. |

Come on Jen, you're certainly tax resident and I would guess by now that you should be physically resident here.

I thought she was asking about the law on setting up a competition:confused: Not what income tax would be due?
If the OP earns money then if comes into the equation about tax. So it is sort of related...no? |

Hi...
I didnt really think of the tax side of it, more the legal bit, as I know in the UK, you should have a Gamblers Licence.... |
