    Prop trading and business activity. Proprietary trading – often called “prop trading” – has gained tremendous popularity in recent years. By allowing traders to operate with someone else’s capital, it removes one of the main barriers to entering financial markets: the lack of sufficient personal funds.

However, alongside the clear benefits, it’s crucial not to overlook the formal and legal aspects — especially when it comes to tax compliance.
