Why invest in XS5E from India
What XS5E holds
This ETF aims to replicate the returns of the S&P 500 Net Dividends Reinvested Index (Net USD), a benchmark comprising the five hundred largest corporations listed in the United States. This index collectively represents approximately 80% of the market's free-float capitalization.
Outside US estate tax
XS5E is domiciled in Luxembourg, 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 XS5E's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
XS5E 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.

Is XS5E a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?

What tax do I pay in India when I sell XS5E?
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.
