You still have to pay 30% tax on the bond fund T / ETF? T-Bonds are exempt from tax.
However, with T-Bond funds you must pay 30% of the funds of "dividends" are actually interest (coupon) of T-Bonds.
Is there a way around this?
PS: I am a stranger, filling IRS form W-8 I do not pay taxes in the United States, except dividends, interest and corporate bonds.
if u filed W-8 form, you declare yourself as a non-resident of the United States and the IRS will retain 30% of your dividends. Unless your dividend is considerable amount of money, or it does not bother to file a tax return to the United States. Not to mention, you will need to hire someone to do it because of the imposition of U.S. rule complex.
