Farm Management Deposit

Primary producers can set aside pre-tax income in good years to use when the farm isn’t making as much money as usual or the season isn’t so great. 

Help Minimise Risk

Farming can be a risky business so we’ve developed a Farm Management Deposit account to help primary producers manage some of this risk. In some circumstances, by depositing funds into a Farm Management Deposit account, you may be able to reduce your taxable income for the year by the amount of the deposit (up to a maximum amount of $800,000).  

Features include: 

  • No account keeping fees^
  • Possible tax-saving benefits
  • Deposit between $1,000 - $800,000
  • Two investment options are available: At Call savings with a variable interest rate or Fixed Term investment for 12 or 24 months
  • Move between At Call and Fixed Term investment options during your term
  • Ability to partially withdraw funds if needed, at a penalty interest rate
