Evaluation of the Farm Management Deposits Scheme
The evaluation of the Farm Management Deposits Scheme, including the public consultation period, is now complete.
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We have evaluated the Farm Management Deposits Scheme (FMDS), which allows primary producers to set aside pre-tax income in good years to cover low-income years.
The evaluation assessed the operation of the FMDS, including if the policy objectives are being met and if the FMDS is being administered effectively.
