What is a UK-REIT?
In brief, a UK real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns, and
in most cases, manages income-producing real estate. Modelled after mutual
funds, REITs provide investors of all types stable income streams,
diversification and long-term capital appreciation. Rental income of the REIT
will, in most cases, be exempt from UK taxation. REITs are required to pay out
90% of their calculated net exempt income as a special type of dividend (known
as a property income distribution or PID) to shareholders. In turn,
shareholders will be subject to tax on those dividends (unless falling within
certain exemptions such as registered pension schemes or charities).
REITs allow anyone to invest in portfolios of properties the same way they
invest in other industries i.e. through the purchase of shares in the REIT. In
the same way shareholders benefit by owning shares in other corporations, the
shareholders of a REIT earn a share of the income produced through real estate
investment without actually having to go out and buy or finance property. PIDs
are therefore subject to taxation as if they are a separate property income
stream.
REITs also have the advantage of being exempt from corporation tax on most
property capital gains, which brings various benefits such as having a
competitive advantage on corporate acquisitions. This benefit can potentially
be shared with the vendor to increase their post-tax proceeds and reduce the
REITs purchase price.
In the UK, REITs own many types of commercial real estate, ranging from office
and apartment buildings to warehouses, hospitals, shopping centres and hotels.
Mill Residential REIT would be the first REIT focused solely on the mainstream,
UK residential property market.
