AIMS APAC REIT Announces 2.400 Cents Distribution for Q4 2024 – Key Dates and Tax Information








AIMS APAC REIT Declares Distribution of 2.400 Cents Per Unit; Key Tax Guidelines for Shareholders

AIMS APAC REIT Declares Distribution of 2.400 Cents Per Unit; Key Tax Guidelines for Shareholders

AIMS APAC REIT (AA REIT) has announced a distribution of 2.400 cents per unit for the period from 1 October 2024 to 31 December 2024. This distribution comprises a taxable income component of 2.090 cents per unit, a tax-exempt income component of 0.070 cents per unit, and a capital distribution component of 0.240 cents per unit. Shareholders should note the following critical dates and key tax considerations:

Important Dates

  • Ex-distribution Trading Starts: 9.00 a.m., 7 February 2025
  • Record Date: 5.00 p.m., 10 February 2025
  • Form Submission Deadline: 5.00 p.m., 27 February 2025
  • Distribution Payment Date: 26 March 2025

Tax Implications for Unitholders

The distribution will have different tax treatments depending on the components:

  • Tax-Exempt Income Component: Exempt from Singapore income tax for all unitholders, irrespective of nationality or tax residency.
  • Capital Distribution Component: Considered a return of capital and not subject to income tax. However, unitholders taxable on profits from the sale of AA REIT units must adjust their cost base accordingly.
  • Taxable Income Component: Tax will not be deducted for certain categories, including individual unitholders, CPF and SRS members, Singapore-incorporated companies, and other qualifying entities. For others, the prevailing corporate tax rate or a 10% concessionary rate for qualifying foreign non-individual unitholders and funds will apply.

Critical Actions for Unitholders

Unitholders falling within specific categories (e.g., Singapore-incorporated companies, charities, foreign funds) must submit the appropriate tax declaration forms (Form A or Form B) by 27 February 2025. Failure to do so will result in tax being deducted at the prevailing corporate tax rate.

CPF and SRS members, as well as individual unitholders holding units directly, are exempt from submitting forms and will receive the gross distribution directly into their respective accounts. However, for those to whom tax exemption does not apply, the distribution must be declared in their Year of Assessment 2026 tax returns.

Potential Impact on Share Price

The announcement of a consistent distribution of 2.400 cents per unit reaffirms AA REIT’s commitment to delivering value to its unitholders, which could bolster investor confidence and potentially impact share prices positively. Moreover, the clarity on tax guidelines may attract more institutional and foreign investors seeking favorable tax treatments for distributions.
