Standard formulations of magnetic response properties are often plagued by gauge dependencies, which can lead to unphysical results, and to a slow convergence with basis-set size. In this talk we present a novel method for obtaining magnetic properties from the current density [1]. This alternative scheme is fully gauge-invariant, numerically efficient, and can be applied to any method from which the current density can be obtained. To illustrate our method, we applied it to time-dependent current-density-functional theory (TDCDFT). While different types of magnetic properties can be calculated in this way, we here emphasize the calculation of circular dichroism spectra, which are notably important in order to characterize secondary structures in biomolecules. The circular dichroism spectra we thus obtain for methyloxirane, dimethyloxirane and α-pinene are in good agreement with experiment [2]. [1] N. Raimbault, P.L. de Boeij, P. Romaniello, and J.A.
