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 investing 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

Can I sell my agribusiness investments? Update on Secondary Trading Market for Forestry MIS
MIS investors who have held an interest in a forestry investment scheme for more than 4 years - meaning those who invested prior to 1 July 2003 are now able to trade their interests in a secondary trading marketing.

New Legislation Regarding ATO Product Rulings for Agribusiness MIS
Under new legislation, the tax deductibility of interests in forestry MIS will continue to be confirmed by ATO Product Rulings. The legislation however, will not protect the tax deductibility of non-forestry investments on or after 1 July 2008. Existing rulings for non-forestry interests held before 30 June 2008 will be honoured.
