Analysis of Changes in Domestic Dividend ETF Tax Policy and Investment Trends

The government is considering separating dividend income taxation as a measure to boost the stock market, but the current tax structure disadvantages domestic dividend ETF investors. The issue is primarily due to the 'final holder taxation' approach, where new investors acquiring dividend stocks bear the tax burden. This is viewed as an element harming fairness in the market, leading to strong calls for reform from market participants.
In contrast, the anticipation of this policy change has led to a rise in the stock prices of high-yield companies and related ETFs. Particularly, the net asset value of the 'PLUS High Dividend ETF' has significantly increased, leading investors to seek benefits from separate taxation of dividend income. With the popularity of domestic dividend ETFs on the rise, investors should pay attention to these emerging investment opportunities. Such developments are poised to present new investment avenues for market participants.
