Revenue has updated its Tax and Duty Manual which deals with enhanced stock relief of 100 percent for young trained farmers to reflect amendments in Finance Act 2022. The availability of the relief has been extended to 30 June 2023 and the requirement that the farmer be the holder of a trained farmer qualification within the meaning of section 654A to avail of the relief was introduced.
A trained farmer qualification is defined in section 654A as being a qualification set out in the Table to that section. Or any other qualification that Teagasc certifies as corresponding to a qualification set out in the Table and deemed by the Qualifications and Quality Assurance Authority of Ireland to be of a level equivalent to such qualifications listed in the Table.
