The wording is very clear. If you trade GBPJPY and your account is in USD you will be taxed. If you trade GBPUSD and your account is in AUD you will be taxed. etc etc.

If the bad spreads weren't enough... "...beginning in April 2020, we will be changing the way in which currency conversions of profits, losses and trading costs take place on the platform. This means that realized P&L, fees and/or commissions ...

How did the withdrawal request go? I'm thinking not very well...
