taxes for foreigners
I'm new on this, if I'm a foreigner do I have to file taxes (in this case a loss) in the United States or in my country of origin?

non resident aliens
When non-resident aliens of the US trade forex with a US-based broker, they don't trigger US taxes on their forex trading gains or interest income. So US tax returns (Form 1040NR) do not need to be filed.
We can't advise you on taxes on your home country and it varies by country.

Malaysia Income Tax law on online Forex Trading? Anyone?
I understood that Income Remitted from Outside Malaysia
With effect from the year of assessment 2004, income derived from outside Malaysia and received in Malaysia by resident individual is exempted from tax.
Anyone from Malaysia to clarify tax issue? Thank You.

If a loss is made in the FX account does this need to be filed with US or local country government inland revenue?

non resident alient forex loss
Not in the US, if the loss was incurred by a non-resident alien (not in the US for more than 183 days).

hi, i wanted to start a new thread for this but guess i am not allowed to yet. at any rate i would greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer. i'm a US citizen living in japan.
taxes are very favorable here for independent businesses, and it would be FANTASTIC if i could file my forex activities income in japan rather than in the states.
how much "in japan" do i have to keep it to make this happen?
if i fund a US broker site, say thinkorswim, with my US bank, but live and work in japan otherwise, can that be enough? what if i fund thinkorswim with my japanese bank? or is that even possible? i would be willing to look into funding a japanese broker with my japanese bank account if it came down to it, but obviously the written language is really difficult, so an english site would be preferable if possible.
anyone with any insight or experience whatsoever please drop a line! i am papertrading now but definitely plan to go live, and want to set it all up right the first time.
thanks! yoroshiku...

UK accounts
I asked FXCM to call me to discuss these accounts and I will then look into UK tax questions.

uk and taxes
hi all
My concern is about taxes. I know i have to pay US taxes since i'm a US citizen, but will i also be required to pay UK taxes? If i do it kind of makes trading there not practical. I'm really freaked out about it because i need to trade a micro account and i'm really dependent on met4. I'm concerned i could loose my ability to make a successful living becasuse of this. Any help would be extremely appreciative.
thank you.

I have the same question about UK tax
Hi,
Currently I have a FXCM US account but I am planning to transfer it to a FXCM UK account to get Hedging option. When I report the gain/loss to IRS, do I need to report it to the tax department of UK too? Thanks for your advice.
