Place your bets
Article Abstract:
Investors can use the internet for financial spread betting, and limit their losses by using stop-loss safeguards. Winnings are not liable to capital gains tax, commission, income tax, or stamp duty, and operators pay the betting duty. Futures and commodities markets can be accessed by small investors in this way. City Index and IG Index run internet sites. There are also contracts for difference, which may involve minimum sizes that are too large for many investors.
