    I was taking a look at this product: Vanguard All-World ex-US Shares Index ETF

    I understand, given I am an Australian resident and citizen, that distributions will be regarded as assessable foreign sourced income. Has anyone invested in this or a similar ETF before? I am just wondering whether it would be complicated to report this on a tax return or whether e-tax does it automatically for you.

    I presume that will be relatively straightforward to report then. Thanks!
