Keppel REIT Management Limited announced that the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore has ruled that the trust’s 300 million Singapore dollars 3.78 per cent subordinated perpetual securities (Series 009), issued on Aug, 11 2025 under a 2 billion Singapore dollars multicurrency debt issuance programme, will be treated as “debt securities” for tax purposes.
The decision means distributions on the Series 009 securities will be regarded as interest, allowing the instruments and their holders to qualify for tax concessions and exemptions available under Section 43H and Section 13 of the Income Tax Act, provided the conditions of the Qualifying Debt Securities scheme are met.
The ruling is based on information supplied to the tax authority and its current interpretation of existing tax laws, the manager said in a filing dated Dec, 3 2025.
