British Land is one of Europe's largest 'real estate investment trusts' (REIT). It gives investors with direct access to a wide range of property assets which it manages, finances and develops, 'delivering security of income as well as capital growth'. [1]

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are companies which are exempt from corporate taxation on profits from rental income and capital gains on the sale of investment properties. The Government established REIT status in 2007 to remove the tax inequalities between different real estate investors. REITs are required to distribute 90 per cent of their UK property rental profits in the form of property income dividends (PIDs).[1]
