Structure Overview

This is a real estate investment trust that owns or finances income-producing real estate and distributes a portion of net income to unitholders. REIT distributions commonly include a mixture of other income, return of capital, and capital gains—each taxed differently in a non-registered account. Holding REITs inside a registered account (RRSP, RRIF, or TFSA) shelters the mixed distribution components from annual tax.

Canadian Planning Notes

  • 1REIT distributions held in a non-registered account require tracking the return-of-capital component, which reduces your adjusted cost base and affects future capital gains calculations.
  • 2Holding a REIT inside an RRSP or RRIF is generally the most tax-efficient placement for Canadians, as all distribution components are sheltered.
  • 3Verify the payout ratio, occupancy rates, and lease expiry schedule with the REIT's most recent management discussion and analysis before planning around the current distribution.
