Taxation on foreign bank account
By Evan Robinson · Updated
I would like to know what are the tax implications on exchange gains/losses on a foreign bank account. I know the interest is taxable but is the gains/losses on the capital from forex taxable?
Is this just for money held offshore?
Yes, It is for money held in an offshore USD bank account that earns minimal interest.
No you do not need to pay tax on the foreign exchange gains and losses.
