Why invest in EDM6 from India
What EDM6 holds
This Fund aims to provide investment returns that mirror the performance of its benchmark, the MSCI Europe ESG Enhanced Focus CTB Index. It achieves this by focusing on both capital appreciation and income generation from its assets.
Outside US estate tax
EDM6 is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
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 EDM6's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
EDM6 is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
On the US shares the fund holds, the 15% US dividend withholding is paid inside the fund, and you cannot claim it as a Foreign Tax Credit in India.
Capital gains are taxed in India the same way as on a US-listed ETF.

Is EDM6 a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?
Yes. iShares MSCI Europe CTB Enhanced ESG UCITS ETF is a UCITS fund domiciled in Ireland. Because it is domiciled outside the US, it is not a US-situs asset, so US estate tax does not apply to it.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell EDM6?
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 EUR/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.
