well i take it your profitable then - if not dont worry about tax till you are, then there are ways. I dont think you will find retail forex traders paying tax.
Perhaps a better way to consider this is can i make a deduction from my gross earnings my 'losses' so as to reduce my tax......
Unless you been trading for atleast 2 years or more i think you will find this not to be a consideration. Just concentrated on making a profit first.

From a "super noob...very new...learning every from scratch"...to use your own words posted in this forum about three month ago...to a 60-72k p.a. profit in your trading.

So how did you manage that...?

What do ya think the ATO is for...?
They are very helpful in these matters.

Surely ATO would be very interested in that. Wouldn't want to mess with ATO but. They don't like that at all.

The answer is simple.....

If you are making a decent profit, then you go and hire a decent accountant to do the job for you!!

Surely that is obvious.

But be careful about trying to avoid tax - if they catch up with you it will not be nice.
Remember, you have a tax file number!!

Too many smart arses on this thread. The question is legit, the responses are lame.

Some legit food for thought OP.

Register a company and trust in Panama. Both together, with bank accounts (2 of), and ATM cards on each will set you back $US6k.

Then in the correct interpretation of law (Australian) you are not the owner of the profits - the trust is. In law (Panama), the profits are tax free as Panama only taxes profit/income earned within Panama.

Australian public companies have been doing similar for decades.

As an added measure of security, and defensibility, trade via a VPS - of course using the Panama corporate structure as your corporate entity.

By all means charge the Trust/Company a nominal wage for your contracted trading services to this overseas entity. It all simply means your new employer is an overseas company that you legally do not own.

Repatriating the profits via ATM (btw, the ATM cards have no names on them) is very safe.

Setting up this rig is quite simple, and I can recommend the lawyers to you to handle it.

Good luck

I suppose your the guy complaining about the roads, the unemployed, the health system, the defence, the schools and the infrastructure surrounding your lucky country.
