Thanks Mercman. Do you know if they are docs publically available on their websites? I did a google across davys, goodbodys, campbell o connor, and didnt turn up anything useful...
I have read most of the ETF taxations threads on here over the last five years....and what jpd and Monkstown state agrees with the overall trends from other posters, assuming the ETF is a UCTIS and is domiciled in Ireland (and maybe even if domiciled in Europe).
in particular, other posters say that the Ishares qualifies for this type of treatment, and apparently their (the Ishares) prospectus has a section which confirms that they will handle the 8 year deemed disposal event for you.

As I read it, if your ishares ETF is kept in a recongised clerance system, the investor must do all the tax returns yourself, otherwise the ETF company will do it for you (including actual encashments and deemed disposal events)
