AUSTRALIA’S FIRST AND ONLY FMD OFFSET ACCOUNT.

Elders Agri Finance clients can now use their Farm Management Deposits (FMD) to offset interest costs on money borrowed for their primary production business. FMDs allow eligible primary producers to set aside pre-tax income up to $800,000 per individual from good years, which they can draw on in future years when they need it. FMDs can offer can be both a risk and tax minimisation tool, as income deposited into an FMD account is tax deductible in the year the deposit is made and taxable in the year in which it is withdrawn. Contact your local Elders Branch or Agri Finance Manager today Elders Agri Finance P 1300 618 367 E bankmarketing@elders.com.au

An individual can own more than one farm management deposit, and can own farm management deposits with different FMD providers, but the sum of the balances of all the farm management deposits of an owner claimed as a deduction must not be more than $800,000.
