Domicile & withholding tax
A fund's domicile is the country where it is legally based (for European investors, often Ireland or Luxembourg). Withholding tax is tax taken at source on dividends, and a fund's domicile affects how much of it you can reclaim or avoid.
What it means for you
An Ireland-domiciled fund often loses less to US dividend withholding than the alternatives, which quietly lifts long-run returns; details vary by country.
