Referring to [this post](https://forum.mustachianpost.com/t/splitting-the-world-creating-tax-advantaged-global-stocks-portfolio-using-funds-in-3a-account/7001/2) I don’t see a flat 15% withholding tax in this table.

Rather, I see

Japan: 10%  
Canada: 15%  
South Korea: 17.6%

For these three countries I see a high withholding tax in IE domiciled funds:

Japan: 15%  
Canada: 25%  
South Korea: 22%

Am I looking at the right table?
