Hi,

I would like to know how profits from regular bitcoin trading are taxed in UK.
Just regular trading on bitcoin exchanges.
Holding the coins no longer than 1 year, in case this matters.

In germany selling btc is a "private sell", so profit is added to your income and you pay income tax, if you hold the btc no longer than one year.
If holded longer than one year, it is tax free.

In alot of other countries it is very similar, except that holding more than one year will only make tax cheaper, not tax free.

How is it in UK ?
And more important: 
Is every regular bitcointrader commercial, so has to make a company?! Cause I was told in UK for "Daytrading" and also "active asset management" you need a company.
