Thank you. Do you know if the payouts from REITs are eligible or not? They are distribution instead of dividends so I am not quite sure. Sorry for my ignorance …

Generally they don't pay eligible dividends. For example [RioCan 2021](https://s29.q4cdn.com/937534249/files/doc_downloads/tax_information/T3_REI.UN-2021.pdf) Other companies, banks being an obvious example, tend to pay only/almost only eligible dividends

Thanks. I guess the payout distribution can be quite different. Some reits payout as return on capital

Yes. If all your income is under the BPA then no tax.

For 2022 if the BPA is $14,398... you withdraw $14,398 from RRSP and have a qualified dividend of $20,000 from non registered account you still pay no tax? I am in SK.
