Popular WHT funds and ETFs

Two different withholding taxes hit a fund, and only one of them is yours to reclaim. This table keeps them apart: what the fund's domicile withholds from a distribution paid to you, and what the fund itself already suffered on its holdings before that.

Two layers of withholding tax

Investor level. When a fund pays a distribution, its domicile can withhold tax on the way out. That is the rate in the table. Irish and Luxembourg UCITS pay distributions free of domicile withholding; a US-domiciled ETF withholds 30% from a non-US holder, often 15% under a treaty. Only this layer is yours, and a treaty reclaim can only ever recover part of it.

Fund level. Long before that, each company in the portfolio withholds tax on the dividend it pays the fund. An Irish-domiciled S&P 500 ETF is paid its US dividends net of US withholding. The fund's own treaty position sets that rate, not yours; the residue is absorbed into the fund's net asset value and no investor can reclaim it. A fund's domicile changes how much of it the fund suffers, which is one reason Irish domicile is common for US holdings.

An accumulating share class pays you nothing, so it has no investor-level withholding tax and no investor-level reclaim. It still bears the fund-level layer.

Reading the investor-level column

None - no distribution, so nothing is withheld from you
0% - the domicile withholds nothing on distributions
1-15% - low withholding on distributions
>15% - higher withholding, a treaty reclaim may apply

The fund-level column carries no percentage on purpose. What a fund suffers on its own holdings depends on the portfolio's country weights and on the fund's treaty position in each of them, so a single number per fund would be invented rather than measured.

Hold any of these funds?

If yours distributes, work out what its domicile withheld from you and how much of that a treaty brings back. No account needed.
