Questions on UK ETFs

[klarklar]

I am considering buying ETFs listed on the London Stock Exchange because of the 30% withholding tax on US ETFs.

- Is there a similar withholding tax for ETFs listed on London Stock Exchange? If yes, how much is it?

- I understand that is a big stamp fee of 0.5% to take note. Are there any other unpleasant surprises that a Singaporean investor should take note?

Just found out myself that there is no withholding tax for UK ETF. Another thing is that the stamp fee is 0.5% for buy transactions only.

I have some IWDA, which is domiciled in Ireland. Stamp duty wasn't charged as indicated in the contract note.
