The distribution will be paid on Tuesday, 21 July 2015 to all securities holders recorded on the
register on Friday, 26 June 2015.
Withholding Tax on Interest (WTI) came into effect on 1 March 2015.
Interest accruing from a South African source to a non-resident, excluding a controlled foreign company,
will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 15% on payment, except interest,
- arising on any Government debt instrument
- arising on any listed debt instrument
- arising on any debt owed by a bank or the South African Reserve Bank
- arising from a bill of exchange or letter of credit where goods are imported into South Africa and where
an authorized dealer has certified such on the instrument
- payable by a headquarter company
- accruing to a non-resident natural person who was physically present in South Africa for a period
exceeding 183 days in aggregate, during that year, or carried on a business through a permanent
establishment in South Africa
Investors are advised that to the extent that the distribution amount comprise of any interest, it
will not be subject to WTI by virtue of the fact that it is listed debt instruments and/or bank debt.
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.
South African tax resident investors relating to REITs
**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.
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.
