Holders of Shariah ETF securities
Holders of Shariah ETF securities ("investors") are advised that the appropriate purification of dividends, through the donation of 5% of the dividends to
charity, needs to be effected by each investor. Absa Islamic Banking's Shari'ah Supervisory Board (''SSB'') has provided the following list of approved
charitable institutions. The list is not exhaustive and it is therefore not obligatory to use one of the specified charities:
1. Al Furqaan Orphanage (Gauteng)
2. Gift of the Givers (RSA)
3. SANZAF (RSA)
4. Africa Muslims Agency (RSA)
5. Al-Imdaad Foundation
6. Muslim Hands (RSA)
7. Islamic Relief Agency (RSA)
8. Bait-ul-Khair (Gauteng)
9. TIBA Services for the Blind (Gauteng)
10. Mustadafin Foundation (www.mustadafin.com)
*Investors should seek advice from their tax advisor on whether the tax and rate shown is applicable to them.
** The dividend distribution by a REIT received by South African tax residents must be included in their gross income and will not be exempt in terms of
the ordinary dividend exemption in section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Income Tax Act No. 58 of 1962 ("the Act") as a result of paragraph (aa) of the proviso
thereto which provides that dividends distributed by a REIT are not exempt from income tax.
No dividend withholding tax will be deducted from dividends payable to a South African tax resident qualifying for exemption from dividend withholding
tax provided that the investor has provided the 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 15%, 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.
