Share dealing and spread betting account charges and currencies


psycho

Question

Hello,

 

I am thinking of making my GBP spread betting account multi currency (initially adding USD) because I feel that the charges for trading instruments priced in USD will be cheaper from a USD account than a GBP account.  Is this correct?  For example if I wanted to sell USD and buy GBP, would the spread bet be cheaper in a USD account or a GBP account?  What about for commodities and US shares?

 

Secondly, if I open a share dealing account for US shares (for long term stock positions), would it be cheaper to fund this in USD so there are no conversion fees?  What would the commission rate be?  Will it be £8 converted to USD?

 

Will I be able to move money between my USD and GBP spread betting accounts paying the 0.3% conversion fee?

 

Will my USD accounts be considered as assets for trades in my GBP accounts so I don't have to convert for margins or is this too complicated?

 

Finally, I assume the spread betting account in USD will be the same as GBP from a tax point of view (i.e. no tax).  If I open the share dealing account in USD, what is the maximum amount of dividends I can earn before my tax return really start to get complicated (therefore necessitating engaging an accountant the costs of which will need to be taken into account)?

 

If there happens to be a tabular comparison that would be just great!

 

Many thanks in advance.

    • Counter Fire is poised to redefine the gaming industry with its innovative blend of competitive gameplay and blockchain technology. The game offers multiple modes, including team-based matches of quads, duos, and solos along with solo missions, with deep customization options and dynamic battle scenarios. While the core gameplay of Counter Fire is similar to PUBG, a battle-royal where the last-man or last-team standing wins in a survival gameplay, users earn while playing Counter Fires. The project has been buzzing the ecosystem as the airdrop claim went live today so users can claim their $CEC and await listing on 9th Sept. While gamers continue to claim their tokens, some analysts have start speculating that the project will redefine the gaming landscape citing the project partnership with likes of YoubiCapital, HASHKEY, KERNEL ventures and many more and the fact that the project raised over $5 million as the base for their argument. The project partnership with Bitget could also be a reason it continues to gain such exposure as players can only claim their token to the exchange. Though, as players claim their token to the exchange, they could benefit some reward from the 1 million $CEC reward pool. I still think many exchanges should list the token so gamers can have many choices.
    • Hi @feirb1, Thank you for your post. Please note that we offer T-Bills for trading on leveraged accounts. By trading these, you will be speculating on the price movements. This means that, when trading, you´ll never take ownership of an actual t-bill. Instead, you´ll take a position on the market either rising in value or falling. Thanks, KoketsoIG
