Prize Tax
Familys neighbor pulled a ring on a RedBull and got a moto but todays a holiday so he hasn't done anything with it yet so Im just curious.... When you win a moto or truck from these is it like in the US where you have to pay tax on it? Or the sales tax or import duty tax before they hand over the keys?

Re: Prize Tax
Don't know about motos, but when I win a free can (of Cambodia beer) it costs me 500 riel.
Re: Prize Tax
If you exchange at the wholesaler the exchange is free, some retail shops charge 500r per can for the service of the exchange. I've never heard of winners paying any tax for a motorcycle.Username Taken wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 12:04 pm Don't know about motos, but when I win a free can (of Cambodia beer) it costs me 500 riel.

Re: Prize Tax
Someone said to me if you win a major prize, keep the can as well as the ring pull. I think this is so they can confirm you purchased the can (the prize stamp is printed in a circle inside the can lid so that it appears on the ring tab).lostjeremy wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 11:48 am Familys neighbor pulled a ring on a RedBull and got a moto but todays a holiday so he hasn't done anything with it yet so Im just curious....

Don't know if that's true but I wouldn't risk throwing the can away.

We had a young bloke working for us ,from a very poor family, who won a moto last year just before Xmas with one of the soft drink companies. No tax. And YES you must keep the whole can.

Brother in law won a Dream about 3 years ago. No tax. Whole can req'd, as noted. Took about 3 months for the 'presentation' ceremony before they got the wheels, iirc.
Had to share it with his drinking buddies, but for the price of a box of beer they each ended up with $300, so not a terrible deal

Re: Prize Tax
I heard that too so when I won $1000 on a Cambodia Beer ring pull earlier this year I kept the can. Then when I went to their office I was surprised how many other people were collecting prizes, and noticed they were checking the cans. Somehow they didn't ask for my can and I threw it out anyway later after collecting the prize. I'm guessing if you had access to a can manufacturing factory you could stamp out more prizes from the rest of the lid?timmydownawell wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 5:18 pm

Re: Prize Tax
Well I'm glad someone is winning decent prizes. In 2 1/2 years the best I've done is three $1 prizes and a zillion "free" 500r beers.

Edited to add...I'm currently in the process of getting drunk off of a free case of beer, yes, I know it's 0600hrs and I have a problem, thanks for asking.

Re: Prize Tax
I take 24 free beer ring pulls to the wholesaler, he gives me another box and charges me $2 'handling' fee.
