    Can you reclaim Vat on any of the following - semi auto headgate, headscoop, dehorning crate, cattle weighing scales, sheep weighing scales and sheep hurdles as I am thinking of applying for Tams grant for them.
    TIA

    To get back vat you have to 'fix' it to the ground, no for the scales, dehorning crate and hurdles if they are portable.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    I'm under 40 years old but farming for over 10 years in my own name. Can someone confirm if I'm eligible for 40% TAMS grant?

    Yes you are eligible for the 40%.
    To be eligible for the 60% you need to under 40 and started farming in the last 5 years.

    Thanks Sami. Does it take long to get approval from the time of submitting an application?

    3-4 months usually, at least that's what mine took anyway. Submitted in September and got approval following January.

    I heard that if your applying for mobile equipment like scales etc. that you can go ahead and purchase it as soon as you have your application submitted where as if building a shed for e.g you can't do anything until you get approval.

    Can anyone confirm this ?

    That correct. The only draw back to purchasing the mobile equipment just after submitting the application is if you are not approved for the grant for what ever reason then you are snookered.

    In relation to Tams fencing. If one got a contractor in, would that assist in tax matters.

    Hi guys, I'm new to this so I'm a little confused here. I'm currently sitting the green certain online in order to qualify as a young farmer. I read on agri land that if I have a farm safety code training done and am sitting the green certain that I qualify for entitlements this year. Long story short, I was at the farm safety code of practice today and that was grand. How do I apply for TAMS or is that closed?

    Many thanks.

    I was to go to the maximum they would aggregate my applications, therefore it stands to reason they should aggregate my applications also.

    Can anyone tell me for the purposes of the Tams Young Farmer Scheme would the setup date in farming be the date you applied for your herd number or the date that you are actually registered as the Herd Owner ?

    I just read this last night. Its on the departments website.

    https://www.agriculture.gov.ie/farmerschemespayments/tams/youngfarmercapitalinvestmentscheme/

    “date of set-up” means the earliest of the following dates:

    • date of joining a Teagasc Milk Production Partnership or Department registered Farm Partnership;

    • date of application for registering as a sole or joint user of a herd number/other Department identifier;

    • In the case of joint owners/partnerships/companies all dates of application for registering of a herd number or Department identifier will be examined and the date of set-up will be the date of application for registering of individuals associated with partnership/companies/joint applications;

    Just wondering has anyone here ever appealed a decision by the dept to reject their Tams application for any reason and if so were you successful or did the original decision remain ?

    You would want a good reason imo. Its based on a points system, you either make the cut off or you don't.

    They have made mistakes with regard to ANC points not included this round. In that case if these brought you up to qualifying amount then you would have a case.

    Has anyone claimed for a new tanker with dribble bar? I read somewhere recently that the take up for grants on slurry equipment under TAMS has been very low... I’m wondering if there are reasons for the low take up, especially as we’ll all have to be updating our slurry equipment before long.....

    I would imagine it's because we have another year of splash plate and no one had the finances ready. A bit of saving next year and the applications will start rolling

    Is it correct that in order to get a fixed sheep race under the grant you must get planning permission?

    Are ye classed as young farmers. I’m under 40 and went for a grant of 60% but was told I had the herd number over 5 years. So not a young farmer anymore.

    The young farmer will need to be very clued in about the farm and be able to answer plenty of questions about the day to day running of the farm as part of the procedure to draw down the 60% grant, I only went through all that afew months ago. I had no bother answering everything because I am running the farm here, but if anyone thinks they can just let a spouse or other family member without much actual involvement with the farm draw down the 60% grant they will be in for a shock when it comes to that part!

    Might be no harm contacting the local AES office to check up on things next month. Submitted a fencing grant there recently. The things they check for is unreal. Folio maps showing ownership, bank details on transactions etc. All fencing stake cert to be completed. Got a beautiful letter back on first fencing grant application. Eventually got the grant. Have had no problems with other applications other than waiting, a call I find helps matters.
