Looking to DCA $300/month into VT. Should I consider Irish-domiciled ETFs instead?
I understand there are withholding tax advantages with investing into Irish-domiciled ETFs compared to US ones. However, the brokers which allow investing to LSE are limited and they usually do not have an automated DCA option. As such, should I just go ahead with VT or are there any compelling reasons to consider an equivalent Irish-domiciled ETF?

Personally, there are 3 reasons i think one should choose irish domiciled etfs over us ones in the long term:
1) lower withholding taxes (15% vs 30%)
2) no estate taxes
3) accumulating options
These 3 benefits helps to maximise returns in the long run.

^ to whatever CTKS mentioned. You can consider VWRA/IWDA as alternatives to VT.
Then again, it really is up to you. If it's too much of a hassle/you dont think you can have the consistency to do it manually every month, then just go ahead with VT. What matters is that you get started and stay invested.
