I’ve recently started looking into investing in Japan and had a few questions regarding how double / triple taxation works.
The [retirewiki.jp](https://retirewiki.jp/wiki/Japanese_global_index_funds#The_triple_taxation_problem) states I need to pay:
1. Withholding tax paid to the country of origin
2. Japanese dividend tax
Let’s say I’m enrolled in NISA and I buy stocks for Tawara No-load Whole World.
I’m assuming point 2 is null, due to NISA?
But what happens with point 1?
For example [sony bank](https://moneykit.net/visitor/fund/fund_notice/notice_JP90C000CMK4.html) states ~0.099% expense ratio (btw what’s the difference between ä¿¡è¨—å ±é…¬ and å®Ÿè³ªä¿¡è¨—å ±é…¬ ??) and 20% / year return over the last 5 years, for the above index.
Do these values already include the money lost due to point 1? If not, how much should I expect to pay?
How about the case of triple taxation where I buy something like the SBI Whole World Index that also has to pay 10% in the US? (I’m not a US citizen in case that matters)
