 Real estate investment trust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the US REITs generally pay no federal income tax but are subject to a number of special requirements set forth in the Internal Revenue Code, one of which is the requirement to annually distribute at least 90% of its taxable income in the form of dividends to its shareholders.
A Real Estate Investment Trust or REIT (rhymes with treat) is a tax designation for a corporation investing in real estate that reduces or eliminates corporate income taxes.
The REIT structure was designed to provide a similar structure for investment in real estate as mutual funds provide for investment in stocks.

 Tax Transparency for Property Trusts and Real Estate Investment Trust
Similar to a company, the after tax income of the property trust can be distributed to investors with the tax already paid at property trust level passed on to investors as a tax credit.
This means that without tax transparency, the REIT will be subject to income tax and the investors will also be subject to income tax on any distributions from the REITs.
In addition, investors with lower personal tax rates compared to a property trust will only be taxed on trust income based on their personal tax rates without having to seek any tax refunds.

 REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust)
What makes these investments truly unique is that REITs don't pay income tax on their earnings as long as they distribute 95 percent of their income to holders.
Owning a mortgage REIT means that you're lending money to builders and property owners, leaving you at the mercy of interest rates and loan defaults.
Well, there is a way for you to invest in real estate with fewer of the usual risks.

 Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Distributions of Capital Gains (Income Code 24)
The amount subject to withholding for a distribution by a REIT generally is the amount of each share or beneficial interest designated by the REIT as a capital gains dividend, multiplied by the number of shares or certificates of beneficial interests owned by a foreign person.
However, this withholding liability is shifted to the person who pays the distribution to a foreign person (or to the account of the foreign person) if the special notice requirement of Regulations section 1.1445-8(f) and other requirements of Regulations section 1.1445-8(b)(1) are satisfied.
If the withholding liability is shifted to the payer of the distribution under Regulations section 1.1445-8(b), the payer will receive notice as described in Regulations section 1.1445-8(f) of the amount of the distribution subject to withholding.
