Correct me if I am wrong.
Maquarie is the Management company of APTT, not the owner.   It owns a small amount of shares in APTT as part-payment for the service of managing the trust.   Investors who buy reits and trusts as individuals do not pay tax on the distributions by the reits/trusts as long as they satisfy SGX rules.

If sold to them , that is a good news . They might want to take it or private. Like saizen .
Tax Rebate refer to the owner, not the investors. " REITs are required to distribute at least 90% of taxable income each year to enjoy tax exempt status by IRAS (subject to certain conditions)."
Macquarie already sold off their shares to Taiwanese  Lu Fang-Ming, who work under Foxconn, Terry Gou.    
Asia Pacific Telecom chairman to obtain 100% stake in Macquarie APTT Management
See recent news how Terry Gou handle the sales of Sharp Corp, the future of APTT distribution is a question mark.

woah high volume sell down. 
The question mark for me is whether they will lose their monopoly, concession, Licence or will cable be obsolete one day.

Yes. 8 cents consistently. Hasn't dropped before based on my memory. But it will this year. 6.5 to 7+ cents.

Are you sure investors don' t get tax rebates?   It is listed in SGX and subject to SGX rules.   Investors do not pay tax on the dividends if you are local in Singapore.   If you have been enjoying the dividends you should know they are tax free like any other trusts and who is the new owner?

If I am not wrong, the dividend rate has been very good - at least 8 cts per annum for a number of years consistently.   When has it been decreasing?

new scenario with ownership changed.
looking forward to see the new owner' s dividend policy.
since this is foreign reit, it is not subjected to local tax rebate for distributing 90% of earning.
Don't be lured in by the high dividend . Can they sustain. Dividend rate has bn dropping too. Is better to consider ST Eng,SPH or Singtel .

Their average interest for the loans are all tied up at around 4%.   This is reasonable and will allow them to continue giving good dividends as they invest more in digital infrastructure as the government is pushing towards digital format.
