Business Spread Betting


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have been spread betting for just over a year and have made good gains, approximately 25%.

I understand the gains are tax-free.

I wanted to know if I can use this as a business. If so, are the gains then taxable.

How are they listed in the P&L accounts?

I'm not sure if I am clear enough.

Kind Regards,

In regards to using spread betting as a business, it depends on the laws and regulations in your country and how you operate your spread betting activities.

Some countries may consider it a form of self-employment, in which case you may be required to pay taxes on your gains. It's always best to consult with a tax professional or financial advisor to get a clear understanding of your tax obligations. They can also help you with the listing of your spread betting gains in your P&L accounts.And if you're interested in learning more about business valuation, you can check out this link: Good luck!

    • Hey everyone, I wanted to share my thoughts on the exchange recent announcement regarding the compensation plan following the unexpected BGB flash crash on October 7, 2024. Like many of you, I was caught off guard when BGB's price suddenly dropped over 50% from $1.2 to around $0.53 within just 15 minutes. It was a pretty stressful moment, but I was relieved to see the platform quick response. Immediate Action and Transparency The exchange immediately announced that they would fully compensate users for any losses incurred during the crash. They promised to release a detailed compensation plan within 24 hours and complete the process within 72 hours. So far, they've provided clear instructions on how to claim compensation and have been keeping us updated throughout the process. Awaiting Compensation While I haven't received my compensation yet, I'm optimistic given the platform proactive approach and commitment to user satisfaction. The detailed plan they shared looks promising, and I'm confident that they will follow through on their promises. It's reassuring to see the exchange taking responsibility and ensuring that users like me won't suffer financial losses due to the volatility. Looking Forward The exact cause of the flash crash is still being investigated, but Bitget swift and transparent handling of the situation has definitely strengthened my trust in the platform.  in the future. Overall, I'm impressed with how they have managed the situation so far.
