Withholding Tax(NON RRIF/RRSP)
FYI:Distributions paid by the REIT to a Canadian unitholder that are made out of the REITs current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 15% (generally reduced to 0% for RRSPs). To the extent a Canadian unitholder is subject to U.S. withholding tax in respect of distributions paid by the REIT out of the REITs current or accumulated earnings and profits, the amount of such tax generally will be eligible for foreign tax credit or deduction treatment in Canada. Distributions in excess of the REITs current and accumulated earnings and profits generally will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided that the recipient has not owned (or been deemed to own) more than 5% of the outstanding Units. From company WEBSITE just a reminder IF you are CDN and hold this in cash or TFSA accounts. Long, Strong and very HAPPY with this holding, GLTA ..TimeBuilder
