Invesco Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II - Invesco S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples ETF is an exchange traded fund launched and managed by Invesco Capital Management LLC. The fund invests in public equity markets of the United States.
Hold a dollar asset

What is the expense ratio of PSCC?

How are PSCC dividends taxed in India?

The US withholds 25% tax on dividends before they reach you; Paasa files Form W-8BEN for you, and the tax withheld can generally be claimed as a credit when you file in India. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell PSCC?
The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents. 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.
Can I buy a fraction of one PSCC unit?
Yes. You can buy by amount rather than by unit and add to your position over time. One unit is $33.50, and there is no minimum trade size.
What happens to my PSCC units if I pass away?
US-domiciled ETFs held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family. A UCITS ETF tracking a similar market sits outside US estate tax. Paasa's US estate tax calculator shows the exposure for a given portfolio value.
