Fund payment amount applicable to the interim distribution for the six
months ended 30 September 2021
This information is only applicable to foreign securityholders and other entities that are obliged
to withhold tax on payments made to foreign residents. Australian-based securityholders should
rely on tax statements that are due to be mailed by Thursday, 30 June 2022. For
completeness, tax will be deducted from payments made to an Australian resident where the
Australian securityholder does not provide an Australian business number or tax file number.
The interim distribution includes a fund payment amount of 0.42598 AUD cents per stapled
security. The fund payment has been determined in accordance with Subdivision 12A-B of
Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953, being the amount from which an amount
would have been required to be withheld under Subdivision 12-H of Schedule 1 to the Taxation
Administration Act 1953 if the payment had been made to an entity covered by section 12-410
of Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953. The fund payment relates to the six
months ended 30 September 2021.
The Fund declares that IPF I is an Attribution Managed Investment Trust for the purposes of
Subdivision 12-H of Schedule 1 of the Taxation Administration Act 1953 in respect of the
income year ended 31 March 2022.
Distribution information for the half year ended 30 September 2021
This information is only applicable to foreign securityholders and other entities that are obliged

General securityholder tax information for securityholders holding stapled
securities on the Fund’s South African sub register
IPF I and its management arrangements are structured to meet the required criteria to be
classified as an Attribution Managed Investment Trust for Australian tax purposes. As an
Attribution Managed Investment Trust, the Responsible Entity will be required to withhold tax on
Australian sourced income at a concessional rate of 15% on fund payments (or 10% for certain
fund payments from a Clean Building MIT) to individual and institutional securityholders in South
Africa and certain other jurisdictions with an exchange of information (EOI) agreement with
Australia. Distributions of Australian sourced income to securityholders that are not resident in
EOI jurisdictions will be subject to WHT at the rate of 30%.
The New Zealand sourced income is subject to the corporate tax rate in New Zealand of 28% and
is not subject to Australian WHT.
The proportion of the payment in respect of the six months ended 30 September 2021 which is
attributable to a fund payment from a Clean Building MIT is nil AUD cents per stapled security.
The effect of these taxes on the interim distribution has been to reduce the rate of WHT to
9.40653%, equivalent to 0.42598 AUD cents per stapled security, through certain deductions
such as depreciation. Thus, tax of 0.42598 AUD cents per stapled security will be withheld from
the interim distribution accruing to securityholders and will be paid to the Australian Taxation
Office for Australian sourced income.
South African securityholder South African income tax implications
The implications below are of a general nature and should not be relied upon by securityholders
as specific South African income tax advice. It does not purport to be a complete analysis of the
potential South African income tax consequences applicable to each securityholder in respect of
distributions received/accrued from the Fund. Securityholders should obtain independent
income tax advice with regard to the South African income tax consequences of acquiring,
holding and disposing of stapled securities having regard to each securityholder’s
circumstances.
The interim distribution is regarded as a distribution from a foreign trust for South African
securityholders.
The interim distribution should comprise taxable income and is to be taxed as such dependent on
the underlying nature of the income and capital gains noted above, in the hands of South African
securityholders. The pre-WHT distribution is to be included in a securityholder’s taxable income
and subject to normal tax in full. Tax paying securityholders may be entitled to claim a foreign tax
credit equivalent to 9.40653%. For distributions where the South African securityholder only
becomes entitled to the distribution in a financial year subsequent to the financial year in which
the income or capital gain was earned by the Fund, the South African securityholder may not be
able to claim a foreign tax credit.
