Why invest in DAXX from India
What DAXX holds
The Amundi DAX II UCITS ETF Acc is designed to faithfully mirror the performance of the DAX Index, regardless of market movements. A key objective is to keep the deviation between the Sub-Fund's net asset value and the Index's returns as low as possible.
Outside US estate tax
DAXX is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Dividends reinvested for you
Dividends from DAXX's holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.
Paasa handles the paperwork
Investing abroad brings paperwork with it: remittance filings, capital gains reporting, foreign asset disclosure. Paasa prepares all of it for you. Your India-ready tax reports arrive at year end, ready to file.
Why DAXX's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
DAXX is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Capital gains are taxed in India the same way as on a US-listed ETF.

What is the expense ratio of DAXX?

Is DAXX a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?
Yes. Amundi DAX II UCITS ETF is a UCITS fund domiciled in Luxembourg. Because it is domiciled outside the US, it is not a US-situs asset, so US estate tax does not apply to it.
Does DAXX pay dividends?

What tax do I pay in India when I sell DAXX?
In India, gains on foreign ETF units held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5% without indexation, and gains on units held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. Both are worked out in rupees at the GBP/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain. Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.
