Planting is 100% grant aided by the Forest Service 2. Stable and secure income for up to 15 years from forest premiums 3. The forest premium can increase income from poorer land 4. Farmers can retain their single farm payment entitlements 5. Reduced farm input costs as planted land requires alot less costly inputs 6. Forestry enhances the environment by increasing biodiversity, capturing carbon and use of fertiliser and pesticides 7. Forest owners benefit from having their own sustainable fuel source thus reducing fossil fuel costs 8. Provides shelter to the farm helping stock to thrive 9. Less time consuming than other farm enterprises allowing more time to be spent on more productive farm enterprises 10. Forestry is tax efficient. The forest premium and timber income are free from income tax. 11. Stamp Duty and Captial Gains only apply to the land not the timber and forestry qualifies for agricultural relief for inheritance tax. Forestry Grants and Premium Payments - Terms & Conditions Forestry grants are available from the Forest Service (Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine) under the Forestry Programme 2014-2020. DAFM sets the standards and approves grant and premium payments. Applicants must be over 18 years of age and hold a Personal Public Service Number (PPSN). Companies must provide their company registration number (CRO). All afforestation projects must obtain prior written approval (termed ‘Technical Approval’) from the Forest Service (Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine). Applicants for Technical Approval must be the owner, lease holder or joint manager of the land at the time of the application. An application for Technical Approval under the Afforestation Scheme must be made by the applicant and a Registered Forester (PDF 90 KB) following a site visit and assessment by the Registered Forester. As it takes time for the application to be assessed, make sure to apply early to catch the planting season, which normally runs between December and April. A separate ‘Financial Approval’ is also required for grant aided projects before work commences. Establishment operations can begin only once this subsequent Financial Approval has been obtained. Establishment grants generally cover all of the costs associated with the establishment and early management of a forest. The rate of afforestation grant and annual forest premium depends on the quality of the land and the type of tree species it can grow. The First Grant provides support for operations such as ground preparation, drainage, fencing and planting and is payable after planting, subject to adherence to scheme conditions and various environmental guidelines. The Second Grant is paid four years after planting, once the trees have become fully established and are free-growing. This payment covers maintenance works that will often be required (e.g. vegetation management, the replacement of failures). Annual forest premium payments are payable for a period of up to 15 years.
