REITs, Dividends and UK Tax

The above is a general guide only and shareholders who have any doubt about their tax position should consult their own appropriate independent professional adviser.

The Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) Regulations require a REIT to distribute at least 90% of its exempt rental income (as calculated for tax purposes) as a Property Income Distribution (“PID”).

PIDs are paid out under deduction of income tax at the basic rate, currently 20%. Certain classes of shareholders, including UK companies, charities, local authorities and UK pension schemes may receive PIDs without deduction of withholding tax, if a valid claim is lodged with the Company by a qualifying shareholder. Shareholders who qualify to receive PIDs without the deduction of withholding tax should complete one of the attached forms depending on whether or not you are the beneficial owner of your shareholding or an intermediary. The completed form should be sent to the Company Registrars:

Dividends paid by REITs: PID/Non-PID

The Company is a REIT. As a result it does not pay UK direct taxes on income profits and capital gains from its property and rental business (“Tax Exempt Business”), provided certain conditions are satisfied. Instead, the Company is required to distribute to Shareholders at least 90% of the income profits of the tax Exempt Business (as determined by the legislation) arising each accounting period. This obligation is fulfilled by way of a PID, which can be distributed in cash or as New Shares and (with some exceptions) will in either case be subject to withholding tax.

Corporation Tax is payable in the normal way in respect of profits and gains from other parts of the Company’s business (the “Residual Business”) and a dividend relating to the Residual Business (as determined by the legislation), or non-PID is treated for UK tax purposes as a normal dividend (whether in cash or New Shares).

The following paragraphs outline the main aspects of the tax treatment of PIDs and Non-PIDs in the hands of a UK tax resident Shareholder.
