Inter Pipeline Fund Announces 2005 Tax Information
CALGARY, ALBERTA, March 10, 2006: Inter Pipeline Fund (Inter Pipeline) (TSX: IPL.UN) announced today the following tax information in relation to cash distributions declared to unitholders in 2005.
Tax Information |
During the year, Inter Pipeline declared cash distributions totaling $0.7525 per unit. The 2005 taxable portion amounts to $0.2770 per unit or 36.8169% of total cash distributions, while the remaining $0.4755 per unit or 63.1831% is considered a tax-deferred return of capital.
Unitholders holding Class A units within a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP), registered retirement income fund (RRIF), deferred profit sharing plan (DPSP), or a registered education savings plan (RESP) should not report any income related to cash distributions on their 2005 income tax return.
Unitholders holding Class A units outside a RRSP, RRIF, DPSP or RESP are taxable on their share of Inter Pipeline's income for tax purposes. The tax-deferred portion of the distribution reduces the unitholders' adjusted cost base of the Class A units. The unitholders' adjusted cost base is then used in calculating the gain or loss on the disposition of the Class A units by the unitholder.
Unitholders should be aware that their participation in the Distribution Reinvestment Plan and the Optional Unit Purchase Plan does not relieve them of any liability for Federal and provincial income taxes in Canada. |
