Super helpful, but i'm still a little confused on the CGT.
Are the Capital gains reported each year to your tax record, but only charged once you sell?
Or are you Paying CGT each year, as well as when you sell?

Question: do we pay any capital gains tax *while* we hold on to the ETF?
Or do do we only pay capital gains when we sell the ETF?
