    Hi David
    I personally trade in a company BUT I already had that set up and I don't have a job anywhere else so I can just draw wages from my company. It will depend on what you are trying to achieve I guess. Capital gain/ income? I would have a big think about why you are trading , what you are hoping to achieve and then (if you don't already have one you are comfy with) find an accountant and explain your situation and get some advice. I have found that it always pays to get good advice before you start anything!

    there are so many variables with each persons situation that it is very hard to say what anyone should do without knowing their specifics.

    Good luck and have fun

    The default advice is a discretionary trust due to the flexibility and capital gains tax advantages.

    I would only ever recommend a company in very limited circumstances, i.e. when all other beneficiaries are maxed out and you are planning on re-investing the profits in the company and accumulating.

    Once again always best to seek professional advice that takes into account the whole of your personal situation and goals.
