The model-independent determination of the Higgs-boson CP properties at the Photon Collider at TESLA has been studied in detail, for masses between 200 and 350 GeV, using realistic luminosity spectra and detector simulation. We consider a generic model with the CP violating Higgs tensor couplings to gauge bosons. We introduce a new variable describing angular distributions of the secondary WW and ZZ decay products which is very sensitive to the CP properties of the Higgs-boson. Understanding of the detector performance turns out to be crucial, as the influence of the acceptance corrections is similar to the effects of CP violation. From the combined measurement of invariant mass distributions and various angular distributions the phase describing a CP violation can be determined to about 50 mrad after one year of Photon Collider running.
