What is a Mexican REIT?
A Mexican Real Estate Investment Trust (also known as FIBRA) is an investment instrument that makes the real estate market more accessible for investors who lack sufficient capital or liquidity to acquire or develop real estate with the purpose of receiving lease revenue from such assets. In return for their investment, holders receive Real Estate Trust Certificates (Certificados Bursátiles Fiduciarios Inmobiliarios, or CBFIs for their Spanish acronym) which yield periodic returns as a result of the collection of rents, as well as capital gains realized from their sale.

What are Real Estate Trust Certificates (CBFIs)?
Real Estate Trust Certificates (Certificados Bursátiles Fiduciarios Inmobiliarios, or CBFIs) are securities that represent the assets comprising the real estate portfolio of a Mexican REIT, whose return is linked to the operating income of such properties or, as the case may be, to the proceeds from their sale. These securities are a mix of fixed-income and equity investments, since they entitle their holders a cash distribution of at least 95% of the taxable income (at least once a year), as a dividend, and provide them with an additional return from the appreciation of the certificates. CBFIs can be traded as easily as shares.

How do taxes work in REITs?
Pursuant to articles 187 and 188 of the Mexican Income Tax Law, there are different tax effects applicable to the return on investments made in FIBRAs by domestic investors: Cash distributions that are categorized as "Taxable Income" will be taxed according to the withholding rate applicable to each investor. Your brokerage firm will withhold the applicable withholding tax and provide you with a withholding certificate at the end of the year. Cash distributions that are categorized as "Capital Refund" will be taxed at 0%. The appreciation of the CBFI (Sales Price - Purchase Price) will have a 0% tax rate.
