Unfortunately only one ETF in Ireland 🇮🇪 and withholding tax is due on the rest.

@Draqua1 no, the vanguard is crap. It's kind of a mixture of VanEck and wisdometree global dividend growth, but can't keep up with either. The Netherlands is not bad for QS. May even be better than IE. Apart from that: if you're looking to accumulate wealth with a distribution, buy a distributing msci world. It's the best long-term investment!

•@Specter Addendum: I wouldn't go by QS alone. I recently read an article about when NL ETFs are even better. Unfortunately, I can no longer find it

@Specter "Fund domicile Netherlands: Possible disadvantage with withholding tax
Looking at the ISIN of the fund, we can see that the ETF is domiciled in the Netherlands: The ETF is domiciled in the Netherlands. For investors from Germany, this may result in tax disadvantages compared to an ETF domiciled in Ireland, depending on their personal tax-free allowance.
Dutch withholding tax of 15% is withheld on every distribution. If you are above the tax-free amount, this is credited in full against the German capital gains tax. You therefore pay a total of 26.375% tax (+ any church tax). However, if you are below the tax-free amount, you will still pay withholding tax.
In the case of an ETF or fund domiciled in Ireland, the withholding tax as an EU citizen is 0%. Depending on the "status" of the personal allowance, you therefore have a tax advantage here - and therefore a disadvantage with an ETF domiciled in the Netherlands. It may therefore make sense to only include such ETFs in your portfolio if your annual investment income exceeds your personal tax-free allowance anyway."

@RealRose Or buy swap ETFs, because you don't pay any withholding tax at all
••
@GoDividend Yes, but only relevant if you are below the tax-free amount. If you are above it, the withholding tax becomes an advantage 🫡
••
@GoDividend Oh. I didn't even read that it's a benefit above the tax-free amount. And then the 26.375% tax is wrong. I just wanted to clarify that.
