Macra makes pre-Budget requests

The reintroduction of roll-over relief and improving tax incentives for long-term land leasing head up the demands of Macra na Feirme’s pre-Budget submission.

National president Thomas Honner said Macra is placing major emphasis on a number of issues to address the structural imbalance in Irish agriculture.

The abolition of the roll-over relief in last year’s Budget was a severe blow to young farmers trying to consolidate their holdings.
