The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine today advised farmers and FAS Advisors that the transfer of Payment Entitlement deadline is extended until midnight on 14 June 2023. This extension applies to the transfer of Payment Entitlements only.
The deadline for the Basic Income Support for Sustainability (BISS) and other area-based schemes applications is unchanged at midnight on Monday 29 May 2023. This will ensure the department can process all applications under these schemes as efficiently as possible.
Farmers and FAS Advisors are urged to avail of the extension to the deadline for the Transfer of Payment Entitlements to ensure the new procedure for Transfers and Confirmation Signatures is completed and signed by the designated person.
The Statements detailing the value of payment entitlements have been issued and are available to all farmers through agfood.ie.
BISS payment entitlements may only be transferred to an active farmer in the same Member State, except in the case of inheritance or anticipated inheritance (gift).
Approval letters for transfers are likely to issue from August 2023 and the department may not be in a position to advise them on the status prior to that.
