2007 Foreign Tax Credit Information — Country-By-Country Detail
For 2007, the following Van Kampen funds have elected to pass through to their shareholders the opportunity to claim foreign taxes paid by the funds as either a credit or a deduction. As a result of this election, shareholders may utilize the foreign tax amounts listed below to either reduce their income (by taking a deduction) or directly reduce their U.S. tax liability (by taking a credit), subject to limitations. Please note that shareholders must also increase their income by the foreign taxes passed through.
If a shareholder has received a Form 1099-DIV from any of the following funds, then he or she does not need to refer to this information. These foreign tax amounts have already been reported in Box 6 of that Form as “Foreign tax paid,” and the foreign tax amounts have also been included in gross income in Boxes 1a and 1b of Form 1099-DIV.
The following tables detail the foreign income earned and foreign taxes paid on a country-by-country basis with respect to dividends paid by the funds in 2007. Shareholders should apply these per share amounts to the number of shares held when
they received the specified dividend. For more information, please consult your tax advisor.
