Estate tax on IRE domiciled US assets?
Posted: September 18th, 2021, 9:05 pm
Hi All.
I was comparing VWRL and VWRP here: https://thefipharmacist.com/vwrl-vs-vwrp/
In doing so, I came across the "Estate Tax" section, which says as follows
Does anyone have sufficient international tax expertise to verify how that reads to me - that upon death, the estate of a UK-resident holder of IRE domiciled ETF's, such as the two named, would be subject to US Estate Tax if the US assets exceed $60K?
Regards, Newroad
PS If accurate, this strikes me as likely to be an issue for any collective investment vehicle exhibiting similar characteristics
