Is IUSC a UCITS ETF?
Yes. iShares S&P 500 UCITS ETF is a UCITS fund domiciled in Ireland, set up under the European Union's UCITS rules for funds sold across Europe. It is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and trades in CHF.
What are IUSC's largest holdings?
The top three are APPLE (7.8%), NVIDIA (7.0%) and MICROSOFT (6.1%). IUSC's 10 largest positions make up 37.3% of the fund.
Is IUSC subject to US estate tax?
No. Because IUSC is domiciled in Ireland rather than the US, it is not a US-situs asset, so US estate tax does not apply to it. US-listed ETFs held directly can be taxed at up to 40% above $60,000 when they pass to your family.
Is IUSC accumulating or distributing?
Accumulating. Dividends from its holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.
How are US dividends taxed inside IUSC?
The US withholds 15% on dividends from the US shares the fund holds, and that tax is paid inside the fund. You cannot claim it as a Foreign Tax Credit in India.
How are gains on IUSC taxed in India?
Units held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5% without indexation; units held for 24 months or less are taxed at your income-tax slab rate. The gain is worked out in rupees, so the currency move counts.
How has IUSC performed?
IUSC's price is up 9.3% over the past year and up 37.7% over five years. These figures are price change only and exclude dividends; past performance does not guarantee future returns.
How is IUSC different from a US-listed ETF?
IUSC is domiciled in Ireland rather than the US. That keeps it outside US estate tax, and dividend withholding on its US shares is 15%, paid inside the fund, instead of the 25% withheld on a US-listed ETF. The 25% can generally be claimed as a credit in India; the 15% cannot. Capital gains on both are taxed the same way in India.
