Plain notes on complicated rules.
A deemed disposal is a unique tax rule in Ireland that applies to certain investments, including Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Under this rule, even if you do not sell your ETF, you are treated as if you have disposed of it every 8 years. This triggers a tax liability, known as exit tax, on any unrealised gains.
Why you can owe tax twice on the same share, and the calendar move that prevents it.
