Franking Policy

Franking credits will be allocated to the extent that they are available.

Tax Status of Distributions

Dividend distribution - This component is distributed out of after tax profit and as such is treated as dividend for tax purposes and will be taxed at the securityholder's marginal tax rate. Franking credits allocated may be allowed to offset tax payable.

Capital distribution - For securityholders who hold their investment on capital account, this component is not assessable as it represents a distribution which exceeds the accounting profit and as such is treated as return of capital for tax purposes. Although the capital component is not assessable it does reduce the securityholder's APT cost base in calculating the capital gains tax liability when the APT units are sold. Over time the cost base is expected to diminish as illustrated in the table above.

Trust Distribution Interest - This component is distributed from profits/interest earned by APTIT. As APTIT is a pass through trusts this component will be taxed at the securityholders marginal tax rate.

Tax Deferred Distribution - This component is not accessable as it represents a distribution from APTIT which exceeds taxable profit and as such is taxed as a tax deferred distribution. Although the tax deferred component is not assessable it does reduce the securityholders APTIT cost base in calculating the capital gain tax liability when APTIT units are sold. Over time the cost base of an APTIT unit is expected to diminish as illustrated in the table above.
