Spread Betting Online - enjoy tax free benefits
What is spread betting and how does it work?
As a UK resident, Spread Betting is your gateway to the Financial Markets. Spread bettors enjoy tax-free proceeds and the opportunity to profit from rising or falling markets without assuming ownership of any assets. In addition, spread bets are traded commission-free and with leverage. If you're interested in trading forex currency pairs, commodities, shares and indices, then spread betting with FXCM is worth a look.

The benefits of Spread Betting
When you spread bet with FXCM, you enjoy:
- Multiple platforms and mobile apps
- Smaller bet sizes (from 7p a point)
- Award-winning customer support
With spread betting, there are no commissions to pay—all trading costs are built into the spread. CFD-trading accounts are charged commissions.
This, in addition to the tax advantage, is why many UK residents choose to spread bet instead of trading CFDs.
