Quote from Hawker:
Good information Mark1.
What about traders with a EU passport that want to live and trade from Spain ? What the tax status would be ?
You are not listening to me uh?!?!
I'm not going to pay any f@#$%^ tax, read my 1 st post above.
If you think you have to pay taxes to Spain with the money you earn as a trader, knowing that you could trade anywhere in the world and it's not living in Spain that gives you your edge,
well that's up to you, I'm not trying to convince anyone here, and I'm not telling this is the right thing to do.
I know my risk and I'm ready to cope with it.
I don't suggest you to do the same thing in Switzerland , Sweden, US, etc, you know what i mean.
I'm sure any Embassy can give you the detailed Info you need .
In Italy for example, you have to fill a form and you pay 12% on capital gain, and moreover you pay another % (it depends on your #'s) on the rest.
I want to see Guardia di Finanza (tax officers) looking at my trading account established in USA, to contest my tax statement
ROFL, sure !
