Guidance on Transfer of Entitlements Under 2020 Basic Payment Scheme

Farmers receive an allocation of entitlements for their farm under the Basic Payment Scheme. Each entitlement the farmer holds must be linked to a hectare of farmed land to qualify for payment. Farmers can choose to transfer entitlements to another farmer. Entitlements are a monetary asset and under the Basic Payment Scheme they can be transferred with or without land.
