    If the business is day trading CGT may not apply as an individual as well as it is viewed as a trade as opposed to investment, so may explain the decision to go via a company.

    Thanks!

    As far as I know it's not exempt (only spread-betting), but as rules change constantly I couldn't answer without looking up more information

      Spread-betting is tax free (betting being the keyword here). Regarding your trading being taxed under CGT (which would be better than LTD Co. trading), your individual circumstances and how you trade must be reviewed by an accountant. I hope you had a discussion with one prior to opening your company? It's a good idea to get in touch with a professional so you understand how eventual distribution of profit (hopefully) to yourself will be made.

                    In most cases the answer to that on these forums will be "No".
