Possible to claim back those witholding taxes?

Just a wild idea. Would a Mcdonald or any fast food joint type or REIT be successful considering Mcdonald main aim is land banking in expensive area

Oh well, Further research has shown that McD did consider REIT as an option but ruled it out. A pity though

Be advised that sunway IPO price have came down to 0.88 per share . If and only If profit didnt change. Expect to receive 7.6% dividend based on entry price

Regarding that question. McD in america actually buy and then rent out those units to franchisee. They are actually not in the business of making burger as mentioned by former CFO. They only sell burger because it enable the franchisee to pay the rent to MCD

If it need stabilizing action,common sense will say its in trouble

Haha,if there is special dividend,i think i am better off holding till ex date then sell it to other better managed company

Dear Cherroy and Moneyking

So we are trading at around 40% discount to NAV value, All key figure did improve but only by small margin

Do be informed that if profit remain the same, Then price to dividend yield would be on par with other reit

Its online traded. No you don't need a guide, Infact if you did have access to the EDGE 2 weeks ago, They did a comparison on which REIT will pay out highest based on estimated dividend / price ratio. If not,go buy personal money magazine at popular newsstand and last page there got historic performance of REIT

Is that blog trustworthy?

IT list AL-aqar KPJ under Plantation sector,
BTW Teddy Bro, Are you starting out small like 1-5 lots at a time? If yes then do note the brokerage charges as it will decide how many rounds of dividend you need to cover back brokerage charge

O.T abit,I see the witholding tax for Resident Companies = 0% ; Subject to Corporate Tax at Prevailing Rate.

Is there a way for us to take advantage like registering a bussiness to buy into REIT?

Maybe a method to manipulate? Like if there is a net loss then there shouldnt be tax because there is no profit.

I'd like to know more as if its possible to bend the rules, i will certainly use my company to invest in REIT

But then income tax will come chasing me . Jump from tiger mouth to dragon mouth
