I know (or I think I know) that if an investor holds an intl equity fund such as VXUS, some of the dividend income is withheld by foreign governments. And for this reason, it often is advised to hold such funds in taxable accounts.
Is the same true for intl bond funds? Will a portion of bond interest be withheld? If yes, does that favor holding such funds in a taxable account?
FYI I’m asking in reference to the iShares IGOV ETF, an international treasuries ETF: https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239 ... y-bond-etf
