Yes, ETFs can be taxed differently from individual shares in Ireland. For an Irish tax resident, many ETFs may fall under investment undertaking or offshore fund rules, which can affect how distributions, sales and deemed disposals are taxed. Other ETFs may be treated under capital gains tax rules, depending on their legal structure and domicile, while dividends or distributions can have separate implications. Check the ETF’s prospectus and Revenue’s current guidance, and consider speaking to a qualified tax adviser about your circumstances.
