Purchase of entitlements

    I am considering purchasing entitlements on 2 Ha that I currently have none for.

    I rang a local auctioneer and he said he has some for sale as follows:

    1) 600 per acre for sale at 3 times face value

    This would give an annual payment of €3000 for an outlay of €9000.

    Sounds like an extremely high entitlement value.

    2) 140 per acre for sale at 2.5 times face value.

    This would give an annual payment of €700 for an outlay of €1750.

    I know that the DED average for the area is €330 per entitlement, so assuming entitlements are averaged in 2013, then the second option sounds like it might be best value.

    Can anyhow advise what the story is from a taxation perspective if I purchase these entitlements?

    Thanks

    firstly it si INCOME, so the 1% Income levy will apply and secondly, the income will atract Income tax at your highest rate when you do up your accounts.

    Is there a capital allowance on the initial outlay for the purchase of the entitlements?

    I haven't the foggiest idea. Ask your accountant.

    Farmer journal did a piece on this back in 2007

    http://www.farmersjournal.ie/2007/0303/farmbusiness/business/payments.shtml

    Since that was 2 years ago and 2013 is something that we're not sure about yet, I would think that the percentages would gone down..
