CFD losses of foreign bank in 2009

December 27, 2011 | 20,00 EUR | answered by

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am currently working on my tax return for 2009. In 2009, my spouse and I (jointly assessed) incurred a loss in CFD trading with two foreign banks.

The bank does not provide a tax/loss certificate.

Is a yearly account statement sufficient for documenting the loss?

Where do I report this in the tax return? (Attachments and fields?)

Where do I need to mark to carry this forward after 2010?

Which positive income (interest/stocks, etc.) can be offset against this loss?

Thank you.
