Why invest in EQQD from India
What EQQD holds
The Invesco NASDAQ-100 Swap UCITS ETF Dist seeks to replicate the net total return of the NASDAQ-100 Index, after accounting for its own fees. This "Reference Index" is composed of 100 of the largest non-financial companies, both US and international, that are traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, selected based on their market capitalization.
Outside US estate tax
EQQD is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Hold a dollar asset
EQQD is priced in US dollars, so a weaker rupee adds to what it's worth in rupees. The rupee depreciated over 85% against the dollar between 2010 and 2025.
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 EQQD's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
EQQD 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 EQQD a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?

How are EQQD dividends taxed in India?

What tax do I pay in India when I sell EQQD?
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 USD/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.
