How ETFs are taxed depends on several factors, including your country of residence, where the specific ETF is registered, and applicable tax treaties between countries.
If you invest in a distributing ETF that pays dividends, withholding tax (WHT) is deducted automatically before the dividend reaches your account – meaning you receive the net amount without needing to take any action. Depending on your country of residence and local tax laws, additional taxes may apply on top of this, and you may need to declare the income in your local tax return.
