The Trust is obliged to distribute all its net rental income to unitholders. The nature of the income distribution means that Capital is exempt from income tax, and it is also not liable for capital gains tax at a trust level. The tax is payable in the hands of the recipient unitholders. Unitholders’ overall returns are calculated on the aggregate of the increase in the capital value of the units and the distribution is payable to unitholders every six months.
Capital Property Fund acquired all of the linked units in issue of Pangbourne Properties Limited in terms of a scheme of arrangement sanctioned by the South Gauteng High Court on 8 March 2011. Following the implementation of the scheme, Capital is one of the largest property funds in South Africa, differentiated by its industrial and commercial focus.
