C IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT FMD ACCOUNTS Authorised deposit-taking institution The FMD provider issuing the application form is an authorised deposittaking institution for the purposes of the Banking Act 1959. Purpose of FMD scheme The FMD scheme is designed to allow individuals carrying on a primary production business in Australia (primary producers) with a taxable nonprimary production income, to shift before-tax income from years when they need it least to years when it is most needed. The scheme helps those individuals to manage their exposure to adverse economic events and seasonal fluctuations. Eligibility criteria apply to individuals carrying on a primary production business in Australia under the scheme. Tax consequences of FMDs The scheme allows individuals carrying on a primary production business in Australia to deduct the amount of any FMD they own from their assessable income for the income year in which the deposit is made. However, the amount of the deductions cannot exceed the owner s taxable primary production income for the income year. Under the Pay As You Go system, owners may reduce their instalment income for an instalment period by the amount of FMDs made during that period. The reduction is limited to the amount that the owners can reasonably expect to deduct for the deposit for the income year in which the deposit is made. However, the instalment income for the period cannot be reduced below nil. When a FMD is repaid to an owner in an instalment period, the instalment income of the period will include the amount of the repayment. But the owner s instalment income will only include so much of the repayment as will be included in the owner s assessable income for the income year in which the repayment is made. If neither the owner s tax file number nor Australian Business Number has been quoted to the FMD provider that holds the deposit, the amount repaid will also be subject to withholding tax at the rate equal to the sum of the top marginal tax rate and the Medicare Levy. Important requirements for FMDs Some of the requirements for FMDs are summarised below. There are also other requirements set out in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. A breach of some of the requirements will result in the deposit not being treated as a FM D, and the tax benefits will be lost. The owner must be an individual who is carrying on a primary production business in Australia when the deposit is made. The deposit must be made by only one individual and on behalf of only one individual. Rights of the depositor are not, and must not be, transferable to another entity. The deposit must not be used as security for any amount owed to the FMD provider or any other entity by the depositor or any other entity. The deposit must not be used, as a mortgage offset account or otherwise, to reduce the depositor s liability to pay interest on other debts to the FMD provider. Interest or other earnings on the deposit must not be invested as a FMD with the FMD provider without having first been paid to the depositor. If the depositor requests in writing, the FMD provider must electronically transfer the deposit, or part of the deposit, to another FMD provider that agrees to accept it as a FMD. The FMD provider must not deduct any fees from the principal of a FMD. However, it may charge fees on the deposit. Repayment of FMDs The tax benefits are not retained for deposit amounts repaid within the first 12 months after the deposit was made, unless the repayment is made: (a) because the owner: (i) dies; or (ii) becomes bankrupt; or (iii) ceases to carry on a primary production business in Australia and does not start carrying on such a business again within 120 days; or (iv) has requested the deposit, or part of the deposit, to be transferred to another FMD provider; or (b) because the circumstances specified in regulation 7 of the Income Tax (Farm Management Deposits) Regulations 1998, relating to repayment in the event of a natural disaster, exist. The amount of any repayment of the deposit must be at least $1,000, except where the entire amount of the deposit is repaid. Additional FMD information The minimum deposit is $1,000 (variable) or $5,000 (fixed) and the maximum deposit is $400,000, An individual can own more than one FMD, and can own FMDs with different FMD providers, but the sum of the balances all the FMDs of the owner must not be more than $400,000. The amount of any repayment of the deposit must be at least $1,000, except where the entire amount of the deposit is repaid. The taxable non-primary production income for the year of income must not exceed $100,000. D TRANSFERRING A FMD FROM ANOTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTION Do you hold a FMD with another FMD provider? Yes* No *You can own more than one FMD, and can own FMDs with different FMD providers, but the sum of all balances of all your FMDs must not be more than $400,000.
