Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of gains and losses from futures and options trading in the UK. It confirms that these are generally treated as business income under the head PGBP (Profits and Gains from Business or Profession). The peculiar method of valuing turnover for such trades is also noted, alongside an inquiry into whether an audit is mandatory in cases of loss.
