Abstract:Forex trading for the aim of profit rather than holding as an investment will be recognized as revenue, which is the same as being self-employed, independent contractor, or freelancer.
To determine the taxable profit from your forex trading, all expenditures spent must be subtracted from the gross revenue of the transaction. The profit gained will or must be added to your other earnings and then used to the tax tables to determine your tax liability. As a result, forex traders should retain all documentation and records related to their trading activity. Convert your profit to South African rand where and when appropriate.
Forex traders who are considered South African residents must report all of their forex trading revenue and earnings on their annual tax forms. The reason for this is that if you are considered a tax resident, you will be taxed on all of your earnings (local and foreign).
