GAMING AND CASINO TAX REFUND SERVICES

Canadians and other non-US Residents may be subjected to a 30% withholding tax when winning money in the US. As Canada's premier gaming tax refund company, it's our job to help you get it all back. We've helped thousands of international gamblers claim back their IRS-imposed tax on US gambling winnings across a number of gaming platforms. We're experts in the gaming-related tax laws of the US, and we'll ensure that any tax withheld that you are entitled to is returned, so you get the full winning experience.

RMS is a registered agent of the IRS and is recognized as a professional organization. We will notarize your ID for you at no extra cost. This is done to obtain an unique ITIN# (Individual Taxpayer's Identification Number). This ITIN# will then be used to process your US Income Tax Return – and can also be used to file for future refunds.
