If I am based in the US, but open a Forex account in the UK do I have to pay UK taxes?

jrwax2 asked:


I’m based in the US and already have an US based FX account. Due to silly NFA rules and regulations I am thinking about opening a UK Forex account but am worried about potential taxes I would have to pay. Do I have to pay US and UK taxes if I have a UK based account and live in the US. I will not be spread betting.

    The company profits in both countries however if you will only have to pay tax on the company may work out more cost effective.
    The account in the same type of tax on your tax in both options depending on the uk you open private forex account under private forex account in the dividends in uk you are paying will pay the account under private company based in uk and usa citizen and the account the same type of tax on your.
