Cyprus brokers and the EU bank bailout haircut

[gc1]

I wonder how the Cyprus based forex brokers will handle the EU banking bailout (depositors being charged up to 10% of their deposits).

Or perhaps the brokers all use banks outside of Cyprus for holding most customer funds.

i don't believe anyone with money on deposit in cyprus can now avoid this eu theft. from the news articles i'm reading it can't now be avoided, though i suspect some elites will, obveously.

That will be the next of it. Sorry we took 10% from your trading account for bailout tax. Every scumbag broker will be claiming your money was in Cyprus.

an added thought. the brokers may have known this was coming for a while and prepared. i noticed a deposit free bonus disappear a couple of weeks ago

Does it apply to business accounts or only personal accounts? Why are there no riots in Cyprus right now?

Why would they put money into Cypress accounts? Avoiding tax, perhaps? Let's hope that the Channel Islands does not get into financial difficulty.

Probably, because most Cypress citizens won't be taxed that much. It said "up to 10%" Remember where the Polly Peck CEO went to live? and what happened to the shareholders? Their funds went to Cyprus, too, but not to their bank accounts---to his.

Gap up? What about a huge gap down from lost faith in EU banking system? Who is next? Spain, Italy, France?

Now I know what is worrying a lot of traders. If Brits could get their money out of there, they would not give a monkey's about the rest. That is why I am inclined to favour the tax.

Don't forget the new tax the councils are going to charge for extra bedrooms. Is there anyone who would like a homeless person in their council house? I understand that the tax could amount to 750 GBP per year, if they don't.

Regardless of the unpleasant things that are happening in Spain, we have not got to that stage, yet and we still get daily rubbish collection.

That's rather an odd post, what would being partnered with the worlds leading banks have to do with it? If the money is in an account in Cyprus then it would seem that the tax applies. I note you did not state that was money was lodged outside Cyprus. In any case it's hard to believe that you'd locate and 'register' in Cyprus and bank elsewhere, just doesn't make sense. I'd say you are panicking and hoping to avoid a run on withdrawals.
