I have some shares on VGLT which is are U.S. treasury bond ETF traded in US. Anyone knows whether its dividend will also get taxed?

Yes it will incur the dividends tax as the income is from US source. If you have submitted the W8BEN form to your broker, it is automatically deducted and you will receive the after tax dividend amount.

Any reason why you bought into the ETF?
