In the UK ETFs are not subject to stamp duty tax on purchase like stocks. However, tax on dividends and capital gains from ETFs and stocks depends on your personal tax circumstances.
For example, here in the UK I hold a bunch of stocks and ETFs in tax free wrappers, ISA (individual savings account) and SIPP (self invested pension plan) dividends and profits on buying and selling are tax free.
