I have the option of transferring my FX accont to a UK account. I was just curious how FX taxes are handled there in terms of capital gains tax and income tax.

I was considering of changing to UK account because regulations are much less strict than the US. In my US account they don't allow hedging which is ridiculous in my opinion.

Any help is appreciated.
