Not what you want to hear but is your side of the fence stock proof. I had to suck it up and put up a proper fence here to keep them out

Was the fence on? Had an issue a while ago where the electric fence wire got damaged and next doors stock took a walk through in and over a boundary ditch ... Didn't help that fencing on other side was nearly non existent.

I had to go into income averaging this year because of the tax bill. Helped a lot.

Now the electricity bill was something else though. I think a new milk tank will have to be considered.

farming is no way as dangerous as building

8 weeks ago , had a acro prop spring from under an rsj and bust the corner of my face. Lucky not to be killed or lose my sight as it caught me square on the eyebrow.

then Saturday i had a blocklayer in building a few piers and a wall and he wanted 4inch blocks to build the gate piers. I had an rsj concreted in the ground and build the blocks around it. usual blocklayer ****e of opening all the straps on the blocks so i couldn't lift them with the blockgrab.

was throwing 4inch blocks onto a pallet and was turning to my right hand side and stepping upward at the one time and busted my poor auld nose into a bale of 6inch blocks. totally relocated my poor auld nose . :rolleyes:

Bord Gais.
I think I do have one installed. It's a digital meter. But I'm not on a night rate at billing.

My tax bill was coming in at 15k but then there were a lot of extra sales last year so not a 'normal' year. With income averaging it brought that down to 2k. It's averaged over your 5 previous years.

Ye have been on averaging a while. You Mustn't have a night rate meter installed. I normally change electricity provider as soon as the current contract is up. I pay level pay each month and send in a meter reading each month too so no surprises. Big saving with the night meter as morning milking and cooling is done at night rate

You're wrong.

Farming is four times as dangerous as construction and while construction is improving, farming seems to be getting worse.

Accountants make little difference to tax bills. It is what you do taht makes the difference. Drawing in away decide your tax bill more than anything else.

Yeah but you need a plan, and despite 3 attempts in last 3 years to get a plan together for us he hasn’t.

There's a funny story told about the last days of one of the big houses near here. Money was long gone and the servants with it - so they family had to do for themselves and make do with what little remained. Land was leased out to a neighbouring farmer who was duely invited for tea. The father, an old man at this stage greeted the guest and his daughter politely offered them both some tea and cake.

Just as the visitor reached out to take a slice of the obviously frugal homemade friutcake (more cake than fruit) he was startled by the old man exclaiming loudly 'lucky sod.! - vous avez le raisin'! ...

True story I'm told ...

How can an accountant plan for a farmer ??

Sure most farmers change there mind more than the weather.

You do your plan then ask how it’s made more tax efficient
