following forms to their Central Securities Depository Participant (“CSDP”) or broker, as the case
may be in respect of its participatory interest:
a) a declaration that the distribution is exempt from dividends tax; and
b)a written undertaking to inform their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances
affecting the exemption change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner, both in the
form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. South African tax resident investors are
advised to contact their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned
documents to be submitted prior to payment of the distribution, if such documents have not already
been submitted.
Non-resident investors for South African income tax purposes
The dividend distribution received by non-resident investors will be exempt from income tax in terms
of section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Act, but will be subject to dividend withholding tax. Dividend
withholding tax is levied at a rate of 20%, unless the rate is reduced in terms of any applicable
agreement for the avoidance of double taxation (“DTA”) between South Africa and the country of
residence of the non-resident investor.
A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA may only be relied on if the non-
resident investor has provided the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be in
respect of its participatory interest:
a) a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the application of a
DTA; and
b)a written undertaking to inform the CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances
affecting the reduced rate change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner, both in
the form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. Non-resident investors are advised to
contact their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be
submitted prior to the payment of the distribution if such documents have not already been
submitted.
Both resident and non-resident investors are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should
they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.
b) Other income is attributable to income accruals embedded in the NAV for newunit creations/redemptions
