  • RE: Daytrading stocks

    Hi, All the transactions of my Day trading are non-UK shares and executed via an online broker outside the UK. Shall I declare that Business is carried on abroad? If yes, is my Day Trading business exempt from VAT obligations? Thanks
  • RE: Daytrading stocks

    Hi, Trading shares, securities, options, currencies or futures involve no VAT, thus an individual day trader is exempt from VAT registration even the annual turnover exceeds £85,000. Is my understanding correct? Thanks
  • RE: Daytrading stocks

    Hi, May I know whether am I classified as a "Trader" or "Investor" if in the tax year of 2023 to 2024 I disposed 450 transactions of stocks, future, options and foreign currency at the amount of over £2.5 millions for the purpose of profit making and majority of the transactions are day-trading? Should I report my profits or loss as "Income Tax" or "Capital gains Tax"? Thank you
