saufi262 : all Malaysian are subject to 30% withholding tax for any paid dividend. it is something to do with Malaysia & US tax treaty. we dont have this treaty.

Mango26 OP saufi262 : But I've never been charged such withholding taxes on my dividends received from Malaysian REITs though. When you mentioned 'any paid dividend', are you only referring to the dividends received from owning US shares/ETFs ?
Thanks for your reply btw, I really appreciate it. I'd just like to further clarify haha

SSG Mango26 OP : yes only dividends received from US.

101606590 : US tax all dividends from US exchange..

GeorgeYong : We have a limited agreement apparently gov.my/pdf/pdfa...

Big Curt : splg is probs where its at for you

103818967 OP Big Curt : what do you mean?

Dwayne Sheng : If you wish to invest in the S&P 500 index, there are a few ETFs which you can choose from such as VOO, SPY, IVV and of course this one, SPLG. They are basically the same with extremely low management fee and tracking the same underlying index. The major difference is it's provided by different companies with different size of AUM (asset under management). If you're short on "bullet", SPLG is definitely your best choice. Same returns with much lower capital needed. Hope this helps
