| Field | Spread betting | CFD |

| Sizing | Currency amount per point | Lots × contract size |

| Ownership | No underlying ownership | No underlying ownership |
| Exness | Do not assume offered | Current instrument model |
Why UK search results mislead
Many SERP pages emphasize UK/Irish tax treatment and local regulation. Those claims do not answer an Ethiopia resident’s tax or legal position. Obtain advice for your residence and actual account entity; marketing labels are not tax opinions.
Normalize the risk
Convert both products to cash loss at the stop: price/point distance × cash value × size + spread + commission + holding cost + slippage. Only after normalization can two quotes be compared fairly.
Decision gates
- Is the product legally offered to your residence?
- Which entity is counterparty?
- What is the nominal exposure per minimum size?
- How are overnight and financing charges calculated?
- What client-money and complaint routes apply?
- What tax record must be kept?
Common false equivalences
| Claim | Correction |
|---|---|
| Both are tax-free | Tax depends on residence/product law |
| Spread is the only cost | Commission, financing and slippage may apply |
| No ownership means no risk | Leverage and counterparty risk remain |
| Same chart means same contract | Terms, sizing and protections differ |

ተደጋጋሚ ጥያቄዎች
Does Exness offer spread betting in Ethiopia?
Do not treat it as available; Exness describes its tradable instruments as CFDs.
Is spread betting tax-free?
No universal answer exists; it depends on residence and law.
Which product is cheaper?
Calculate all-in cash cost for the same exposure and holding period.
Do CFDs transfer the asset?
No. They settle price differences without underlying ownership.
