Differences between reits and trusts

You may have hear of people advising on purchasing or REITs for its high yield. They may also tell you that REITs have to give out 90% of income to enjoy tax benefits. But do you know that business trusts do not have such a requirement to distribute its income/earnings even though they may have a similar yield?
