Abstract: 

Recently issued Revenue Procedure 2021-53 temporarily allows regulated investment companies (RICs) and publicly offered real estate investment trusts (REITs) to limit the cash component of their dividends under certain conditions, in order to allow RICs and REITs to conserve capital and enhance their cash liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors set out the eligibility requirements and discuss related legal concerns.
