Distribution Type
Let’s take the announcement details by First Reit which was announced a few weeks ago.
There are 3 different distributional type of dividends that were declared.
The first is taxable income which amounted to 0.07 cents/share and is a choice.
The second is tax-exempt income which amounted to 1.02 cents/share and is a mandatory.
The third is a capital distribution which amounted to 0.77 cents/share.
It sums up to a total of 1.87 cents/share declared.
Taxable Income – These dividends declared are by choice since it is taxable in nature. These are dividends that the trust received from its’ respective SPCs (Special Purpose Vehicle) which are tax residents of Singapore.
The dividends will be taxed at the company level but exempted in the hands of unitholders based on the one-tiered rule. For foreign trust like First Reit who derived their income from a foreign SPCs, It will further be subjected to the withholding tax in their respective holding country.
Tax-Exempt Income – These income relates to the disposal of ordinary / redeemable preference shares in the SPCs where such capital gain tax are tax exempted in Singapore. This is also usually the bigger portion and one which many Reits are currently withholding the distribution in lieu of the Covid situation after MAS ruling was allowed.
Capital – These income represents a return of capital to the respective SPCs, who may choose to redeem on a periodic basis. Depending on the Reit’s distribution policy and earnings payout they choose to give out, a portion of the dividend may be returned as this would deferred the amount of tax to be paid and reduce the cost basis for the units, which translate into lower taxes and hence higher dividends for unitholders.
Hi B
Thanks for the sharing on the different types of distributional income. Always learn alot from you.
With the recent announcement on the different phases, I believe Reits profit and distributable income especially those in malls are going to be affected. Certain business can only start in Phase 2 and Phase 3. These business will need rental rebates from reits/government.
Any thoughts on this?
when I thought about the way things have been recently, i owe my thanks to God for letting me find this amazing personality, i mailed Mr. alex roughly 2 months now, I was actually very uncertain about investing, very scared because i was also low on cash.I gave it my all, my first investment of $2,000 two weeks ago brought me $ 29,230 last week, and what intrigues me the most is the way him handles he partners, i recommend him too to my friend jeff, after trading with him, his testimonies have let me come here to attest for him.

I'm sorry but this is all wrong.
Natural herbs have cured so many illness that drugs and injection can’t cure. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. i read people's testimonies online on how they were cured of HERPES, HIV, diabetics etc by Dr Edes herbal medicine, so i decided to contact the doctor because i know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with Herpes for the past 3 years but Dr Edes cured me with his herbs and i referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from Herpes but to God be the glory, they were cured too .I know is hard to believe but am a living testimony. There is no harm trying herbs, Thanks. Write him on WhatsApp on +2348151937428. @dr_edes_remedies deals with
