EU financial transaction tax

I was blocking this whole thing out for long.. time to get dirty. So what's the consequences for a private traders (trading US futures through US broker) .. if these clowns roll it out and uk stays in eu?

How much would it cost for 1 ES contract round trip?

Can it be avoided? Like supplying a Switzerland residential address to your US broker?

Seriously. Nobody knows anything here any more? Just blabbing about.. fine..

No one's got a clue. A residential address somewhere else won't suffice, you will have to provide that country's ID for proof. With lunacies like NIRP and "helicopter money" flying around, I wouldn't be surprised with this tax. The underlying problem (a big one!) is that countries are governed by people who couldn't find a place for themselves in the private sector, so useless they were.

Ftt not happening anytime soon, ie within this current decade, not worth worrying about for now.

Lead the way UK! Stop this tax!!
