3. The capital component of the distribution is treated as a return of capital for Singapore income tax purposes. No tax will be deducted at source from this component.

4. Tax will be deducted at source from the taxable income component in certain circumstances. The following paragraphs describe the circumstances in which tax will or will not be deducted from the taxable income component of the distribution.

5. The following categories of unitholders will receive a gross distribution (i.e. no tax will be deducted from it):-

6. unitholders who are individuals and who hold the units either in their sole names or jointly with other individuals;

7. unitholders which are companies incorporated and tax resident in Singapore;

8. unitholders which are Singapore branches of companies incorporated outside Singapore;
