Tax Effective Agribusiness


Overview Read More Strategies Resources

Agribusiness is now a common managed investment option for investors with a focus on a number of key Australian agricultural commodities such as forestry and horticulture. A key feature of agribusiness investment is the tax effective feature providing substantial tax deductions supported by an Australian Taxation Office Product Ruling. Agribusiness is an alternative asset class that offers returns generated from a traditional income source. Agribusiness offers investors another level of diversification because it is not correlated with interest rates, sharemarkets, bonds or property markets.

When you become an investor in agribusiness, the ATO considers you to be a primary producer, carrying on a business in agriculture, forestry or horticulture for the purposes of income. Therefore the ATO applies the same tax treatment to agribusiness managed investment schemes (MIS) investors as they do for any other farmer or orchardist. Your investment is tax deductible in the year in which they are made because the expenses are incurred before the income is received. more info

Certainty for agricultural managed investment schemes
The Federal Court of Australia has ruled in favour of Australian agribusiness fund sector's appeal against the ATO in regards to the ATO's treatment of non-forestry MIS.
