Hi,
I am in the process of setting up my self directed PRSA with Davy. I plan on buying several ETFs.
If foreign jurisdictions tax our funds/shares we don't get the full benefit of buying them inside our pension.
I think, If a US (domiciled?) fund pays dividends, the US fund will apply a dividend withholding tax and I don't think we can claim back this withholding tax. This would be a very significant drag on performance.
Is this a real issue?
How do you minimise the tax from foreign jurisdictions?
What rules should we follow when choosing funds to minimise the impact of foreign tax?
