Hi please take the time to read this... I have no idea if i have done anything wrong or not.
In 2012 i got 300k from playing a video game i was really good at... the money come from some random american guy who i met playing the game, i have no idea who he was however this is the case, I was not self employed... I was not employed, I was mearly playing in tournaments and winning pretty much every single time, I had no idea how tax worked at the time or that i even had to pay anything at all and im still unclear to this day as to weather i done anything wrong.
I was good at the game and was playing it regaurdless i wasnt in it for the money i just liked the game because i was really good at it, it had a point system and you could give the points to other players as i really didnt care much for them people would offer me money for them and that soon amounted to large amounts of money... I didn't see it as work at all.
As far as i understood tax at the time it was just something you got taken out of your wages at a job before you received your wages or to tax a car on the road.
I spent the lot and gifted a lot of it out also.
Can anyone please shed some light? im really not that smart, i just play games on the internet.
