Welcome to spread betting at CMC Markets
What is spread betting?
Spread betting is the simple, cost effective way to trade the global financial markets. You can trade shares, indices, commodities and currencies from one platform.
Tax free profits
Profits made by an Irish resident from spread betting are exempt from capital gains tax (CGT) and there is no stamp duty unlike traditional share dealing which can make it cost effective. Tax treatment however depends on your individual circumstances and may change in the future.
