Declaration for Singapore Tax Purposes
- The capital component of the distribution is treated as a return of capital for Singapore income tax purposes. No tax will be deducted at source from this component.
- The tax-exempt income component of the distribution is exempt from tax in the hands of all Unitholders. No tax will be deducted at source from this component.
- The other gain component of the distribution is not taxable in the hands of all Unitholders. No tax will be deducted at source from this component.
- Tax will be deducted at source from the taxable income component in certain circumstances. The following paragraphs describe the circumstances in which tax will or will not be deducted from the taxable income component of the distribution.
- The following categories of Unitholders will receive a gross distribution (i.e. no tax will be deducted from the taxable income component):
- Unitholders who are individuals and who hold the Units either in their sole names or jointly with other individuals;
- Unitholders which are companies incorporated and tax resident in Singapore;
- Unitholders which are Singapore branches of companies incorporated outside Singapore;
1
- Unitholders which are body of persons (excluding companies or partnerships) incorporated or registered in Singapore;

- To receive a gross distribution, Unitholders in category 5(b) to 5(f) above must complete a prescribed form - the "Declaration for Singapore Tax Purposes Form" ("Form A").
- These categories of Unitholders, unless they are exempt from tax because of their own circumstances, will have to pay income tax subsequently at their own applicable tax rates.
- Unitholders in category 5(a) are not required to submit any form. The gross distribution received by these Unitholders (irrespective of their tax residence status) is exempt from tax. However, this tax exemption does not apply to such Unitholders in respect of distribution derived by them through a partnership in Singapore or from the carrying on of a trade, business or profession.
- Tax at the reduced rate of 10% will be deducted from the distribution made to Unitholders which are:
- qualifying non-residentnon-individual; and

- who does not have any permanent establishment in Singapore; or
- who carries on any operation through a permanent establishment in Singapore, where the funds used to acquire the Units are not obtained from that operation.
- A qualifying non-resident fund is one that qualifies for tax exemption under section 13D, 13U or 13V of the Income Tax Act 1947 that is not a resident of Singapore for income tax purposes and:
- does not have any permanent establishment in Singapore (other than a fund manager in Singapore); or
- carries on any operation through a permanent establishment in Singapore (other than a fund manager in Singapore), where the funds used to acquire the Units are not obtained from that operation.

- To receive the distribution net of tax deducted at 10%, Unitholders in categories 9(a) and (b) are required to complete Form A.
- Beneficial owners of Units who hold Units through depository agents will receive:
- gross distribution if they are persons described in categories 5(a) to 5(f); and
- distribution net of tax deducted at 10% if they are Unitholders described in categories 9(a) and (b) above.
- To receive gross distribution and distribution net of tax deducted at 10%, depository agents are required to complete the "Declaration by Depository Agents for Singapore Tax Purposes Form" ("Form B") and its annexes.
- Form A and Form B (and its annexes) will be sent to Unitholders and depository agents respectively, by MIT's unit registrar (the "Unit Registrar"), Boardroom Corporate & Advisory Services Pte. Ltd. located at 1 Harbourfront Avenue, #14-07 Keppel Bay Tower, Singapore 098632, on or around Wednesday, 10 May 2023.

Important Notice
The value of Units and the income derived from them may fall as well as rise. Units are not obligations of, deposits in, or guaranteed by, the Manager or any of its affiliates. An investment in Units is subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.
Investors have no right to request the Manager to redeem their Units while the Units are listed. It is intended that Unitholders of MIT may only deal in their Units through trading on the SGX-ST. Listing of the Units on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units.
The past performance of MIT is not necessarily indicative of the future performance of MIT.
