@F1Help @kijewski_ I'm getting this exact problem too. I fear many more people will be calling up support in the next two days if it doesn't get addressed.

@EasyEquities @CharlesHSavage Is adding LSE on the cards still? Would be huge for those who want to avoid US estate duty, assuming Irish domiciled ETFs are available.

I'll drop my feedback here too: The container runs a non-root user but still depends on running with the root group. Could we instead have a dedicated user and group so that the container has no permissions to the root filesystem. 🙏🏼

Hey @RedisLabs @stevanLM 👋🏻 I'm not able to see the feedback tool in v1.6.3. The setting is turned on, but can't find it. I'm on Safari.

@TravelBugBitten FYI the spread on @EasyEquities FX is now 2%. Not the best but getting better!

@SimonPB @JustOneLap Thanks Simon, I was leaning that way. Makes sense if you think of it as you buying an actual bond.

[Zac Blazic @zacblazic]

@JustOneLap @SimonPB I’d like to pick your brain. Would holding a total return bond ETF for 6 to 12 months to preserve capital constitute capital gains or income tax? Intention is not to trade but to protect since cash is becoming unfavorable.

@finweek @SimonPB @PSGWealth @SchalkLouw “For example, are exchange rates likely to affect the cost of running your motor vehicle and do you travel overseas regularly?“

Who divests their offshore investments to service their car or go on holiday?!

[Zac Blazic @zacblazic]

@TravelBugBitten Thanks. 🙏🏼 I’m assuming you fill out the tax credits as how much you were taxed on the foreign dividends - something that should be on the tax certificate?

[Zac Blazic @zacblazic]

Hey @TravelBugBitten. Really appreciate you sharing your offshore investing journey ⛰️ and research 🔍 that went into it.

Wondering if you have any details on the process of declaring foreign dividends, and more specifically the tax credits?

[Zac Blazic @zacblazic]

@stevanLM @RedisLabs Awesome, will do that. 👌🏻

[Zac Blazic @zacblazic]

@RedisLabs Where is the best place to log bug or feature requests for RedisInsight?

@SATRIX_SA @kristiavh @SimonPB @Nerina_Visser Thanks everyone, this news makes me very happy!

[Zac Blazic @zacblazic]

I have owned $STXWDM via @EasyEquities for 1+ years. It's a total return ETF, in which we should track the "phantom" distributions to adjust the base cost. I cannot find any indication distributions made in statements / tx history. What do we do? @Nerina_Visser cc: @JustOneLap

[Zac Blazic @zacblazic]

@kristiavh @SimonPB @SATRIX_SA See @Nerina_Visser's response 😀

[Nerina Visser, CFA @Nerina_Visser]

@zacblazic @EasyEquities @JustOneLap @SATRIX_SA @iShares Yes indeed, although there are dividend withholding taxes in the foreign jurisdictions that we cannot avoid.

[Zac Blazic @zacblazic]

@kristiavh @SimonPB Yup! In reference to this https://t.co/EVlFaCvqaI

[Zac Blazic @zacblazic]

@Nerina_Visser @EasyEquities @JustOneLap @SATRIX_SA @iShares So that means we don’t get taxed on “dividends” and thus we are only taxed on capital gain? 😯 Thanks for the reply @Nerina_Visser

[Zac Blazic @zacblazic]

@kristiavh @SimonPB This sounds all to complicated to adjust the base cost so you don’t get taxed twice. 🙈

[Zac Blazic @zacblazic]

@SimonPB @kristiavh Unfortunately not in the MDD or SENS. $STXWDM MDD just mentions it does not distribute. Searched public SENS and just see “additional listing” and delistings, no distributions.

[Zac Blazic @zacblazic]

@kristiavh @SimonPB Ah yes, I know I'll be on the hook for that - but I'm more worried about how to actually know when a "distribution" took place since they don't show up on any statements I've gone through as a normal dividend would. 😅
