Would currency trading fall under the purview of this proposed tax?

Lets face it.... if it did pass there would be a massive flight to the forex markets overnight.

Forex and other exchanges that don't have this extra fee.

Hopefully someone is wise enough to realize that before this even has a chance to see some movement.

New attempts for proposing a Transaction Taxes are being formed:

http://thehill.com/homenews/house/56...all-street-tax

The site below has some important details on the transaction tax and what to do to prevent it from passing into legislation.

The information from a discussion on the transaction tax is available through a podcast from this link:

[media]http://www.greencompany.com/EducationCenter/ConfCall/GreenTraderTaxConfCall090 309.mp3[/media]
This is going to a fight. Information for the bill - H.R. 3379 and for H.R. 1068 can be found here: THOMAS (Library of Congress) by selecting 'Bill Number' and including H.R. in search.

This site has consistently provided information related to the Transaction Tax and updates the information on a frequent basis.

There is a newly published article here referring to developments at the G-20 meeting.

The information seems positive - but legislative sentiment can always turn.

Financial-transaction tax is dead on arrival globally, which is good news locally - GreenTrader Weblog
