Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 71% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk.
The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

On spread betting accounts there is no need to report profits and losses. However, on Stockbroking accounts there is. Most online broking accounts offer a yearly statement of Dividends, for Tax purposes. You need separate segments for US shares and US Tax withholding. Companies such as IB have excellent reposts making this very easy.
As far as I can see IG offer nothing. I must go through my entire year of Trading to generate my own Capital gain / loss. The same for Dividends.
I need something before the year end in 6 days, since I need to know what my (realised) Capital gain (loss) will be. This is extremely important because it may be necessary to realise some Capital gain / losses before the year end, so as not to exceed the Capital Gains tax limit (£11,300)
