Inter Pipeline Fund Announces 2011 Tax Information

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - March 5, 2012) - Inter Pipeline Fund ("Inter Pipeline") (TSX:IPL.UN) announced today the following tax information in relation to cash distributions declared to unitholders in 2011.

Tax Information

During the year, Inter Pipeline declared cash distributions totalling $0.9675 per unit. The 2011 taxable portion amounts to $0.57251 per unit or 59.17% of total cash distributions. The return of capital component in 2011 was $0.39499 per unit or 40.83%.

Unitholders holding Class A units within a tax-free savings account, registered retirement savings plan, registered retirement income fund, deferred profit sharing plan, registered education savings plan or other similar type of deferral plan should not report any income related to cash distributions on their 2011 income tax return. Unitholders holding Class A units outside a deferred plan are taxable on their share of Inter Pipeline's income for tax purposes.

Unitholders should be aware that their participation in Inter Pipeline's Premium Distribution(TM) and Distribution Reinvestment Plan does not relieve them of any liability for Federal and Provincial income taxes in Canada for the distributions re-invested.

Although the December 31, 2011 distribution of $0.0875 per unit was paid on January 16, 2012, the taxable portion of this distribution is included in the unitholders' taxable income for 2011.

Additional 2011 and historical tax information is available on our website at www.interpipelinefund.com by selecting "Investor Relations" then "Tax Information".
