This is a project we're about to start work on. Currently if you trade with Interactive Brokers as a UK trader, you'll appreciate there's no simple tax report you can run off to use to fill out your annual self assessment. Our plan is to provide a simple tool, whereby you can upload your trade report, exported from IB, and we'll generate a report calculating your CGT - simple!
We'll be utilising Rob Carver's excellent open source library 'Python UK trading tax calculator'. Those with a smattering of knowledge of python and git can go direct to source and run this locally, you'll just need to source the FX rates. Those without, or just too lazy to set it up themselves, will be able to use the tool here on T2W. Thanks to Rob aka @globalarbtrader who I've run the idea past and likes it.
We'll need some beta testers at some point, so if this sounds interesting to you, then do let us know and we'll include you in any testing we do.
