FAQ
What makes agribusiness accounting different from standard business accounting?
Agribusiness involves unique accounting challenges including seasonal income volatility, livestock and crop inventory valuation, primary production concessions, farm management deposits, fuel tax credits, natural disaster provisions and complex asset depreciation for plant and machinery. An accountant with agribusiness experience understands these nuances and ensures farmers and producers aren’t paying more tax than they should.
What tax concessions are available to Australian farmers?
Australian primary producers can access a range of tax concessions including income averaging (to smooth out volatile income across years), the Farm Management Deposit (FMD) scheme (which allows pre-tax income to be set aside in low-income years), immediate asset write-off provisions for qualifying farm equipment, fuel tax credits, and accelerated depreciation for primary production assets. Evergreen identifies the concessions applicable to each client’s situation.
What is the Farm Management Deposit (FMD) scheme?
The Farm Management Deposit scheme allows primary producers to deposit pre-tax income into a special account during good years and withdraw it in years of lower income — effectively averaging income for tax purposes. Deposits are tax-deductible when made and taxable when withdrawn. Evergreen advises agribusiness clients on the optimal use of FMDs as part of annual tax planning.
How should livestock be valued for tax purposes?
Livestock can be valued using one of three ATO-approved methods: natural value (based on the cost of natural increase), cost price, or market selling value. The choice of method affects both your taxable income and your balance sheet and should align with your overall tax position and business circumstances. Evergreen helps agribusiness clients select and apply the most appropriate livestock valuation method.
Does Evergreen work with agribusinesses in regional and rural areas?
Yes. Evergreen has specific experience supporting clients in regional Queensland, rural Victoria and Northern NSW — areas where agribusiness and primary production are significant economic activities. Cloud-based accounting systems mean Evergreen can provide high-quality services to farms and agricultural businesses regardless of their location.
Can Evergreen help with cash flow planning for seasonal businesses?
Yes. Seasonal cash flow management is one of the most critical financial challenges for agribusinesses. Evergreen develops cash flow forecasts that account for seasonal income patterns, input cost timing, loan repayments and tax obligations — giving farm owners a clear picture of their financial position throughout the year and helping them plan for low-income periods.
