    no, I don't thinks so: there is a difference between investing and trading futures, the last one will be seen as a business-like activity, so you will still have to pay taxes.

    I live in the Netherlands, trade futures and have a written confirmation by the tax authoraties that profits from futures trading will not be regarded as profits from business activities. So what the f*ck do you think you're talking about?

    You obviously don't know shit about tax law in Holland. If you're a broker on the floor, you're running a business. That's why you're taxed. When you're trading futures from home, you don't offer a product or service to the public, which is one of the criteria, that has to be met, to be taxable for income tax.

    I'am a full time trader in Belgium. I have had many advisors of how I must structure my self for taxes.

    The Belgium law is contradictus. If you make your capital gains in a stockmarket in your name, you must pay 30% tax on it. If you however incorparate(B.V.B.A or N.V.) your trading activities, you must pay no taxes on your capitalgains from the stockmarket. Optiontrading and Futures trading is always taxable in either form. If you want good advice about how to pay less in taxes in the US check this link www.sageint.com. They can help you.
