Details

This measure will apply to you if you are leaving or retiring from farming and have applied for a payment under the Lump Sum Exit Scheme managed by the Rural Payments Agency.

This measure clarifies that the payment, and any interim payment received, will be treated as a capital receipt provided you meet the scheme’s eligibility criteria. If you do not meet the eligibility criteria the payment will be treated as income.
