This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of gains from redeemed units in AIF Category 3. Income from these funds is generally tax-free for investors as the fund itself is liable for tax. When redeeming units, any amount received above your initial investment should be declared under exempted income in your Income Tax Return (ITR).

Income from Category III AIFs is tax-free at the investor’s level because these AIFs are not granted a pass-through status, meaning that the fund is responsible for paying the tax.
