Well currently my UK bank account at HSBC well I received a fraudulent payment for selling bitcoins. My account was first frozen and now the bank manager told me I needed a business account to trade bitcoins. Also now that after unlocking my account they will be checking my account monthly for any suspicious transactions that look like I've been trading bitcoins. That if they do think I'm still trading bitcoins from the account they will close it immediately.
bitcoins from 3 different accountants i seen, class bitcoins as a personal possession(asset) not a corporate product where you can claim back VAT and all the blah. not a raw material (commodity). not a division of a percentage of ownership of a company(share). its a personal possession asset.
a personal asset, much like antiques, cars, jewellery and art. the only thing with it is that with any personal possession, even your TV if you hold enough of them and keep buying from one person to sell onto another day in day out, you would be classed as a trader.
