If an Irish resident but not Irish domiciled person holds US domiciled etfs (specifically Vanguard Total World Stock ETF VT) will they qualify for the remittance basis of taxation?
I know shares do and that ETFs like VWCE don't but is there consensus on US ETFs or is it a grey area?
 
Wanted to bump this thread. Heard two different opinions on this -- both from tax advisors.
 
I don't see why a US-domiciled ETF wouldn't qualify for the remittance basis. (VWCE doesn't, but that's because it's domiciled in Ireland.)

But I could be missing something. I'd love to know why one of the advisors thought that it wouldn't qualify. Without knowing why he thought that, I'm very hesitant to say that he's wrong.
