Tax Transparency
S-REITs that distribute at least 90% of their taxable specified income in the same year in which it is derived qualify for tax transparency treatment in Singapore, which means that specified income distributed to unitholders is not subject to corporate tax at the S-REIT level and is only taxed (where applicable) at the unitholder level.
