Satrix Collective Unveils Distribution for Prop Securities in Johannesburg
Satrix Prop Securities Announces New Distribution for Q1 2024
The Satrix Collective Investment Scheme, managed by Satrix Managers (RF) (Pty) Limited in collaboration with Standard Chartered Bank as trustees, has announced a new distribution for holders of Satrix Prop securities. This distribution covers the quarter ending March 31, 2024, and will impact investors who are recorded in the register by April 26, 2024.
The declared distribution amounts to 3.25000 cents (R0.03250) per Satrix Prop security. The distribution is divided into two components: a dividend component and an interest component. The gross South African distribution per unit is 3.25000 cents, with the dividend portion subject to a foreign tax rate of 15%.
According to data from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), the distribution originates from multiple sources, including both foreign and local investments. The gross local rate per unit is further broken down into a gross foreign rate, gross local rate, and interest, with specific withholding tax rates applied accordingly. Non-exempt South African shareholders will be subject to a 20% withholding tax on dividends and a 10% tax on certain foreign-sourced components.
Key Dates for Investors
Investors should note the following important dates:
- Last day to trade "cum" distribution: April 23, 2024
- Securities will trade "ex" distribution: April 24, 2024
- Record date: April 26, 2024
- Payment date: April 29, 2024
These dates are crucial for shareholders who wish to benefit from this quarter's distribution.
Withholding Tax on Interest (WTI)
The withholding tax on interest (WTI), which has been in effect since March 2015, does not apply to the interest component of this distribution. This is because the interest is classified as arising from listed debt instruments.
South African tax residents may be exempt from dividend withholding tax if they provide the necessary documentation to their Central Securities Depository Participant or broker. However, non-resident investors should be aware that while the dividend distribution is exempt from South African income tax, it will still be subject to dividend withholding tax at a general rate of 20%. A reduced rate may apply under a relevant double taxation agreement, provided the necessary declarations and undertakings are submitted in advance.
Investor Advice
Investors are strongly encouraged to consult professional advisors regarding their specific tax obligations and any required documentation to ensure eligibility for exemptions or reduced withholding rates.
