Each month, the Trustees determine the Fund's actual rate of taxable and non taxable income or losses earned (net of expenses) for each of the investment strategies and apply those rates as increases or decreases to the Members' Accounts and Reserve Account in proportion to the daily account balance. Tax on taxable income is then deducted from each Member's Account at the Member's individual Prescribed Investor Rate (PIR) being either 19.5% or 30%. Tax is deducted from the Reserve Account at 30%.
