Distribution History

Profit distributions are paid twice yearly; the interim distribution normally in February and the final distribution in August. Click here to view distributions paid by the Trust

Distributions paid by the Trust have in the past had a tax-free and a tax-deferred component. Due to legislative changes, from 1 July 2001 the tax-free component of the distribution is now effectively treated as a tax-deferred component.

The tax-free and tax-deferred components of the distribution are not assessable for income tax purposes, though the tax-deferred component may have capital gains tax implications for unitholders.

In the statement of interim distribution issued to unitholders, a preliminary estimate of the tax-free and tax-deferred components of the distribution is provided. However, the preliminary estimate is superseded by the actual calculation of the tax-free and tax-deferred components of the distribution made at year end. The tax-free and tax-deferred components of the distribution at year end are noted on the statement of final distribution, and these components apply to both the interim and final distributions payable for that year.

The tax-free and tax-deferred components of distributions paid by the Trust to date are as follows:

Please note that due to the changes in tax legislation which applied to distributions received in respect of the 2001 financial year, the tax-free and tax-deferred amounts differed where only one distribution (ie. either interim or final) was received. With regard to one-off distributions received in respect of the 2001 financial year, the following tax components apply:
