Your recipe for EOFY
With the end of financial year fast approaching, a Rabobank Farm Management Deposit could be just the recipe for your business. No doubt, like many farmers you worry about the impact seasonal variability can have on your year-to-year cash flow. A Farm Management Deposit enables you to smooth out your surplus pre-tax income for when you need it most, giving you peace of mind in leaner years.
Enjoy tax benefits
Your investments in our Farm Management Deposits are fully tax deductible in the year of deposit and only taxable in the year of withdrawal. This allows you to reduce your taxable income and reserve the funds for when they are needed most. (Deposits must be held for a minimum of 12 months to qualify for these tax benefits).
Reduce your cash flow risk
We’re a bank founded by farmers for farmers, so we know first-hand how cash flow can vary from year to year. Our Farm Management Deposits can help to smooth out the seasons by enabling you to set aside surplus pre-tax income from bumper years to help out in leaner times.
Build a financial buffer
A Rabobank Farm Management Deposit is like saving for a non-rainy day! By building a buffer, a Farm Management Deposit acts as an important risk management tool.
Zero transaction or account service fees
Our Farm Management Deposit has no transaction fees or service charges (government taxes may still apply).
... and your money is in safe hands
Your deposits are guaranteed by the Australian Federal Government’s Deposit Financial Claims Scheme1.
