Subject:           REIT Status and PID 
 
On 1 January 2015, Standard Life Investments Property Income Trust (the 
"Company") became resident in the UK for tax purposes and will now be compliant 
with the UK REIT regime. 
 
Following the conversion to a UK REIT, the Company can pay dividends as 
property income distribution (PID). 
 
The Board have resolved that the first three dividend payments this year will 
be by way of PID, and will be paid net of UK tax unless the registered owner of 
the shares has completed a HMRC declaration. 
 
The Company's Registrar have provided the necessary HMRC declaration forms to 
all qualifying registered owners of the Company's shares however the Board are 
aware that a number of investors hold shares via execution-only platforms or 
with ISA/SIPP providers and may not have been advised of the requirement to 
complete a declaration in order to receive dividend gross. 
 
Investors are advised to seek independent tax advice and to contact their 
nominee company to receive the necessary declaration forms should they be 
deemed eligible to do so.
