Withholding Tax on Interest (WTI) came into effect on 1 March 2015.

Interest accruing from a South African source to a non-resident, excluding a controlled foreign company, will be subject
to withholding tax at a rate of 20% on payment, except interest,

* arising on any Government debt instrument
* arising on any listed debt instrument
* arising on any debt owed by a bank or the South African Reserve Bank
* arising from a bill of exchange or letter of credit where goods are imported into South Africa and where an authorized
dealer has certified such on the instrument
* payable by a headquarter company
* accruing to a non-resident natural person who was physically present in South Africa for a period exceeding 183 days
in aggregate, during that year, or carried on a business through a permanent establishment in South Africa

Investors are advised that to the extent that the distribution amount comprise of any interest, it will not be
subject to WTI by virtue of the fact that it is Government debt, listed debt instruments and/or bank debt.
 South African tax resident investors relating to REITs
**The dividend distribution by a REIT received by South African tax residents must be included in their gross
income and will not be exempt in terms of the ordinary dividend exemption in section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Income
Tax Act No. 58 of 1962 ("the Act") as a result of paragraph (aa) of the proviso thereto which provides that
dividends distributed by a REIT are not exempt from income tax.
No dividend withholding tax will be deducted from dividends payable to a South African tax resident qualifying
for exemption from dividend withholding tax provided that the investor has provided the following forms to
their Central Securities Depository Participant ("CSDP") or broker, as the case may be in respect of its
participatory interest:
b) a written undertaking to inform their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances
affecting the exemption change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner,
both in the form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. South African tax resident investors are
advised to contact their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to
be submitted prior to payment of the distribution, if such documents have not already been submitted.

Non-resident investors for South African income tax purposes
The dividend distribution received by non-resident investors will be exempt from income tax in terms of
section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Act, but will be subject to dividend withholding tax. Dividend withholding tax is levied
at a rate of 15%, unless the rate is reduced in terms of any applicable agreement for the avoidance of double
taxation ("DTA") between South Africa and the country of residence of the non-resident investor.
A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA may only be relied on if the non-resident
investor has provided the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be in respect of its
participatory interest:
a) a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the application of a DTA; and
b) a written undertaking to inform the CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances affecting
the reduced rate change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner,
both in the form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. Non-resident investors are advised to
contact their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be
submitted prior to the payment of the distribution if such documents have not already been submitted.

Both resident and non-resident investors are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should they be
in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.
