Spread Betting

 

Hi Guys and Ladies.

 Can anyone point me in the right direction, I am thinking of opening an account with either IronFX or XTB - Simply because they have no deposit bonuses and I am starting a 5-year project.

 

Can anyone tell me if this is spreadbetting, as in the UK spreadbetting has 0% capital gains tax and 0% stamp duty.

 

Thanks All!

Thanks for the reply.

Am I right in thinking Spread Betting is basically the same as trading currency pairs with a spread involved. So example would be EUR/USD - Buy for 1.26000 and Sell for 1.26016 - the spread would be 16. Is this spread betting? or CFD trading?

 

Thanks
