Does this make sense to you or anyone else?
Yeah, it sort of makes sense.

Once you start moving money around the world it can get complicated as to which parts of the ownership chain have what tax liabilities where.

A US dividend ETF domiciled in Ireland held in custody in Luxembourg by a New Zealand tax resident.

What tax and/or tax credits are available/payable on the dividends received by the ETF
What tax and/or tax credits are available/payable on the dividends paid by the ETF
What tax and/or tax credits are available/payable on the dividends received by the custodian
What tax and/or tax credits are available/payable on the dividends received by the NZ tax resident

And the chain isn't always that simple. . .
