Description

Farm business managers have many important factors to consider in the running of their operations. However, one of the more significant factors any farm business manager must weigh carefully is the effect taxation will have on the operation of the farm business. To help farm business managers with these concerns, this publication will discuss various tax strategies and rules that directly affect the agricultural sector. But changes in tax law are continually being made, so this material should not be considered as an interpretation or a replacement for the legislation. Specific problems regarding tax management decisions should be referred to an accountant, lawyer or tax advisor who is aware of changes that may have happened since the preparation of this publication. Any final decision should be based on the exact wording of the law.
