I have a tax query. I trade stock options in the US market so have exchange rate (ER) complications. I am calculating tax on monthly profits/losses based on the varying mid month ER value provided by the tax dept. Is this correct?
Also, how must any ER advantage/disadvantage from opening bal to closing balance in my trading account for the the tax year be taken into account? Is this shown as a tax gain/loss or taken into account in my books of account as a capital gain/loss.
Any advice much appreciated thanks

Do you hold the account in your own name or in a company/trust. is the balance of all your financial arrangements under $1m?
If in own name and under $1m (the threashold might actually be higher) then you will be a 'cash basis holder' so only return gains as you receive them. I have no idea how that would work as I assume you would only receive the benefit once you close down the account which if you have lots of ins and outs, will be impossible to track the forex component.
