What is covered in this chapter
HMRC and Prop Firm Payouts
One of the biggest misconceptions among UK traders is that prop firm payouts are tax-free under spread betting laws. This is a dangerous mistake. Prop firm payouts are not tax-free. You must structure your business and report your earnings correctly to avoid HMRC audits.
Structuring Your Business
You have two primary options: registering as a Sole Trader or establishing a Limited Company. We compare the tax efficiency of both, including corporate tax rates, dividend extraction, and writing off business expenses (like data feeds and charting platforms).
