er.. i thought all REITs' tax = 10% by law (if registered/setup as REITs lar).

the tax structure is different for REITS,
but for us layman, it's 10% withholding tax generally.

There is no charge for dividend payment for any reit holders.

Charges may apply on those nominee account only.

yes...i use a nominee account...
har...then lost many $$ due to the bank changes...
any other way to buy reit or share ?

There is no 25% tax on reit.
Reit income is tax exempted if reit distributed >90% of their income, (which until now every reit 100% distributed more than 90%).

There is only 10% witholding tax on reit distribution/dividend.

Bro - last time (say about 3 years+ back), HLeB used to charge my nominee a/c service charges too in regards to dividends. However, i've noticed about 2 years back, they stopped charging .
NOTE: I'm not a HLeB staff or related other than a customer, k. Definitely not helping them sell sell sell

U got bank charges?
I never been charged by bank on dividend paid to me. Maybe brother & sister here know about it.

BTW, if without the buying price.    i only can calculate your buying price (dunno correct or not).. is it 0.94? For more accurate dividend calculating, better use all dividend announced from 1 year ago until now.... for example last 4 quarters of dividend announced by ARREIT.

zhen zhen waka ri nae (i really dunno)

I'm not loyal - i moved from MBB to HLeB coz of the $ sitting in HLeB makes me % + cost is lower too. er.. i'm also no big shot, kuci rat investor, now kuci rat trader as well 

$ sitting in my HLeB a/c attracts interest every month higher than savings a/c - i think it's nearly equals to FD 1mth term or 2.

Cost = brokerage is 0.38% or $12, whichever higher.

er.. bro, i dont know how to answer that Q of yours leh. Mine's a nominee a/c with HLeB, not CDS
