Since recently I thought all trading accounts on forex which have a spread are tax free but this is not the case you need to a spread account to be expected from tax as the spread account trades with stakes NOT lots
Very educative tutorial with well detailed information I appreciate, *The Semyon Tchernenko Strategy* was the only way I was able to get results. look it up.
What if you earn £50000 in a cfd account and earn another £50000 in a spreadbetting account. Then can you only declare the cfd account as income Because spreadbetting account is supposed to be tax free.
Mate this is absolutely brilliant read so much on this and even tho I have already found a lot of this information for myself this has cleared so much fuzziness up thank you!
Do we need to be FCA regulated to trade forex as a limited company? I'm seeing mixed responses online and when trying to create a company account with vantage markets it has a mandatory field "regulatory body"
Do I need to pay tax on yearly basis or only when I make a withdrawal? For example, if I never withdraw from an account for 3 years. Do I have to pay tax every year or after 3 years when I withdraw? Thank you
If your a trader full time , your saying it’s best to have 2 accounts one with what you think you’ll be taxed and the other for profits ? But how will you know how much your gonna be taxed when you make a different amount each month ?

@@youngjedi6857 can't I just withdraw below the specific band I'm aiming for, just to reduce amount of tax paid, despite trading in the tens of thousands?
With all due respect, hardly any major companies pay tax , Apple, Uber, and millionaires and many more. There are many ways to not pay tax so many countries that are off shore tax havens. Put the right information J. For instance Rolex the luxurious watch brand doesn't pay a penny tax since 1940s its registered as a charity. Lois Hamilton doesn't pay tax even the queen with all that money was involved in the Panama papers.
With all due respect, I think your comment is completely irrelevant and unhelpful. Firstly, I’m not sure you understand the difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion. Secondly, I’m not sure if you are actually promoting either. Thirdly, we aren’t talking about major income. We are talking about traders running small businesses between $50,000 to $1,000,000 income per year as sole traders or maybe up to £10m as a limited company. Quite a contrast between the companies you mention earning billions per year. Please contribute to this channel with valuable comments in the future.

Hi Jason, thank you for this video - the best info on this issue yet... I've checked! Quick question - Please could you tell me whether VAT is charged on CFD's traded by a broker and if yes, at what percentage? Any exemptions? I am assuming no VAT on spread betting since it is exempt from tax. Br, Sue
So if you live in the UK and have a spread betting account which you're liable for losses in the account, you don't have to pay tax according to the UK gambling law. Correct?
Can you make a video on setting up a corporation(not anonymous shell) in places like British Virgin Islands or Panama where there is no tax on Forex capital gains
So I'm investing in S&P500 in a CFD account, am I right in saying I dont pay income tax when I withdraw my investment? What taxes do I pay? And what do I pay annually?
I was going to do the FTMO challenge next year (since the 10% profit gain is the easy part if you use proper risk management), but im just afraid of what I am ACTUALLY going to make because I am then going to get taxed on my 70% profit split... not sure what the percentage on that would be though, probably another 30% taken away...
Did you actually figure out how much tax you have to pay as an FTMO funded trader making six figures a year in the UK? Nobody seems to know 🤦♂️. LLC? Sole trader?
@FishOnTV (Jarod Valenti) since I asked, I found the answer in Matt To Million's video. The calculation is extremely complicated but you keep 69k on a 100k withdrawal - or 31% tax. The conversion rate on profits in USD over to GBP will incur a 20% loss too though right? 😒 Glad to hear you finally found a good strategy. I primarily trade ICT/Smart Money Concepts and its abslutely superb.
if trading is your primary source of income and you trade CFDS only is it still taxable through Capital gains tax or is it seen as income tax cos it's your only source of income ? This is the confusing aspect
So basically if trading is your main income it’s taxable, spreadbetting or CFD. What a bummer! I wish companies would stop touting this business as tax free in the UK. Just another way of luring people in to this industry and taking their money. Great Vid Jason. Thanks.
What exactly am I wrong about. Before you ask me if I’ve watched the video I think you need to read my comments and understand what I’m saying. I didn’t say that sreadbetting isn’t gambling, I’m fully aware it’s gambling. I was saying that if trading is your main income through spreadbetting or CFD trading you will get taxed.
@@charanjitbanga1743 if trading is your primary source of income and you trade CFDS only is it still taxable through Capital gains tax or is it seen as income tax cos it's your only source of income ? This is the confusing aspect
@@charanjitbanga1743 I believe that is solid info shared by a lot of traders but not so clear if its still CGT if your income is seen as the overwhelming main or sole Income. This is the grey area..does it then switch to income tax which is much higher than CGT. If it was a blanket CGT on all forex cfds it would be fine but..
@@charanjitbanga1743 Do you know anyone who trades full time, has their main income through CFD trading only and pays CGT not income tax even with huge profit? This is key . I'm sure HMRC will try class you as a pro trader or self employed trader this way and therefore tax you as income. But it's so difficult to say as each case is different
Hello sir. I have a question. What if u r using a broker that doesn't accept US residents and u r one of them but u r using it somehow!. When it comes to taxes is that can be a problem paying them?. Thanks
simple question , there is only one broker provider in Europa who gives you chance to withdrawal your money direct in your Credit card and from there to bank account , yes traders pay taxes 😎😀😄
I have a question that I'm confused and can't find an answer anywhere.. Let say I makes hundred trade on forex, and whatever amount I gain or lost in that one hundred trade is tax? Or I only get tax if I withdraw the money from my account? This is a big confusing part for me.. Let say I make $100 dollar and I leave that $100 dollar in my account, do I get tax for that dollars sitting in my account? Or I only get tax when I withdraw that hundred dollar?
Hey Jason man I just got to say you are an incredible educator for making this video it was so needed for me and many others and I can see it is becoming more of concern because the video was only created this year. So one question Jason and I'm sure it will help many others too: I've oppend a Ltd company and ive earnt £100,000 by the end of the year trading BUT it's still in my "trading account" and i have not made any withdrawals into my company account. Is that taxable or isit only once I make the withdrawal? Thank you
Is an asset so shown on your company returns under assets ...not taxable in isolation but if offset against liabilities the the difference probably subject to CG tax It will be taxable the moment it is converted to a benefit ie as a company profit or as a directors dividend so subject to income tax I would check with a tax accountant, if your making 100k and setting up a company..spend the few quid they tax advice. As the video says don't ignore the tax aspect. See if you can setup a business and trading account outside the EU...then your not subject to UK laws (and I'm taxation). Find a country with more favourable taxation (let it be your retirement pot of money in another country separate from anything in UK). Just had a thought, what about including the profits of gambling (yes all 100k by an individual not as a company) but putting it into a n investment ISA or similar tax protected pension or trust for kids?
@@JohnSmith-sb5ym did you get anymore info on if its taxed on withdrawn funds hitting your bank only or taxed when you close a trade regardless if you withdraw or not?
Great video, very informative!!! I'm into my 5th year trading now - my first 2 years were net losing years, my 3rd year was even there about's, last year I made a significant 98% return and when you finally realise why you went through all the struggles of becoming a trader it's so satisfying!! This year I'm up 70% Y on Y but I haven't touched my account since I became profitable, I just want to grow it. I already have an accountant as I'm self-employed but I really should start talking to them about the trading aspect of my life!! Great advice ! Thanks
Thanks very much for making this video, there's not much out there on this subject. Would you happen to know if you were trading a CFD account with overall profits & also have a spread bet account, do you think the SB account would have to pay taxes on.

Hi Jason what if you just spreadbet? Surely none of that is taxable?
correct
As the video states, there are limitations around spreadbetting.
I don’t do spread betting
I don’t do investing
I do day-trade on the NYSE for my main income - Do I pay income tax or capital gains tax on my gains ?
Do I need to pay tax on yearly basis or only when I make a withdrawal? For example, if I never withdraw from an account for 3 years. Do I have to pay tax every year or after 3 years when I withdraw? Thank you
Excellent video
amazing video . Just what i was looking for . ! loads of very useful information. !
Lamonz88 excellent
Is this the same as short term profits using options? And is this for the UK?
If your a trader full time , your saying it’s best to have 2 accounts one with what you think you’ll be taxed and the other for profits ? But how will you know how much your gonna be taxed when you make a different amount each month ?
Why not have a primary CFD/ECN account (Capital Gains/Income tax) plus a Spread Bet account for tax free gambling? Surely the obvious solution?
Fantastic Video 👌🏼

What exactly am I wrong about. Before you ask me if I’ve watched the video I think you need to read my comments and understand what I’m saying.
I didn’t say that sreadbetting isn’t gambling, I’m fully aware it’s gambling. I was saying that if trading is your main income through spreadbetting or CFD trading you will get taxed.
@@charanjitbanga1743 if trading is your primary source of income and you trade CFDS only is it still taxable through Capital gains tax or is it seen as income tax cos it's your only source of income ? This is the confusing aspect
Steven Smales I believe CFD trading is liable for capital gains tax in the uk.
@@charanjitbanga1743 I believe that is solid info shared by a lot of traders but not so clear if its still CGT if your income is seen as the overwhelming main or sole Income. This is the grey area..does it then switch to income tax which is much higher than CGT.
If it was a blanket CGT on all forex cfds it would be fine but..
@@charanjitbanga1743 Do you know anyone who trades full time, has their main income through CFD trading only and pays CGT not income tax even with huge profit? This is key . I'm sure HMRC will try class you as a pro trader or self employed trader this way and therefore tax you as income. But it's so difficult to say as each case is different
What do u call those tv’s behind his back I want one just like that
Monitors?
Thank you Jason!
No problem.
Great vid thanks ,what a bloody mine field. and I though developing a consistent trading system was difficult ! LOL
Haha, trading is easy! Its the tax that is the ultimate task 😂
Hello sir. I have a question. What if u r using a broker that doesn't accept US residents and u r one of them but u r using it somehow!. When it comes to taxes is that can be a problem paying them?. Thanks
simple question , there is only one broker provider in Europa who gives you chance to withdrawal your money direct in your Credit card and from there to bank account , yes traders pay taxes 😎😀😄
Re Spread Betting started as sports betting so the nominal notion is that its a gamble.
what about trading in US futures?
I have a question that I'm confused and can't find an answer anywhere.. Let say I makes hundred trade on forex, and whatever amount I gain or lost in that one hundred trade is tax? Or I only get tax if I withdraw the money from my account? This is a big confusing part for me.. Let say I make $100 dollar and I leave that $100 dollar in my account, do I get tax for that dollars sitting in my account? Or I only get tax when I withdraw that hundred dollar?
sir i want to know tax in belgium
Hey Jason man I just got to say you are an incredible educator for making this video it was so needed for me and many others and I can see it is becoming more of concern because the video was only created this year.
So one question Jason and I'm sure it will help many others too: I've oppend a Ltd company and ive earnt £100,000 by the end of the year trading BUT it's still in my "trading account" and i have not made any withdrawals into my company account. Is that taxable or isit only once I make the withdrawal? Thank you
Is an asset so shown on your company returns under assets ...not taxable in isolation but if offset against liabilities the the difference probably subject to CG tax
It will be taxable the moment it is converted to a benefit ie as a company profit or as a directors dividend so subject to income tax
I would check with a tax accountant, if your making 100k and setting up a company..spend the few quid they tax advice.
As the video says don't ignore the tax aspect.
See if you can setup a business and trading account outside the EU...then your not subject to UK laws (and I'm taxation).
Find a country with more favourable taxation (let it be your retirement pot of money in another country separate from anything in UK).
Just had a thought, what about including the profits of gambling (yes all 100k by an individual not as a company) but putting it into a n investment ISA or similar tax protected pension or trust for kids?
@@borntodoit8744 thanks a lot will take your advice especially on setting up offshore !
John Smith it depends if the company is trading or a holding company.
If it’s limited you may be liable for corporation tax on profits which is 20%
@@JasonGraystone I understand that the COMPANY is liable for tax but I asking what if I have not withdrawn the money in my trading ie brokers account?
@@JohnSmith-sb5ym did you get anymore info on if its taxed on withdrawn funds hitting your bank only or taxed when you close a trade regardless if you withdraw or not?
Does anyone have any good recommendations for some tax advisors with specialist knowledge in forex? (around Hertfordshire)

Thank You, Very much Appreciated..
No worries. Glad you enjoyed it.
What would prop firm trading in the UK be taxed as? Would it be 10%?
Id like to know this also, did you find out?
Great video, very informative!!! I'm into my 5th year trading now - my first 2 years were net losing years, my 3rd year was even there about's, last year I made a significant 98% return and when you finally realise why you went through all the struggles of becoming a trader it's so satisfying!! This year I'm up 70% Y on Y but I haven't touched my account since I became profitable, I just want to grow it. I already have an accountant as I'm self-employed but I really should start talking to them about the trading aspect of my life!! Great advice ! Thanks
Danny Passant how did you find an accountant that had knowledge about forex as I can’t find one online ?
If you live is US how can I connect with the Nexchain community here. I want 200k of my savings into it.
Does a gambler who doesn't have any other income have to pay tax?
which country tax free for traders ?
Thanks very much for making this video, there's not much out there on this subject. Would you happen to know if you were trading a CFD account with overall profits & also have a spread bet account, do you think the SB account would have to pay taxes on.
.... amazing we got mad about a tea tax... but today's society is acceptable.
