The Farm Management Deposits (FMDs) scheme is a tax-linked, financial risk management tool for primary producers, including fishers and foresters, that is delivered commercially through participating financial institutions.

An FMD allows taxable primary production income from profitable years to be set aside for subsequent draw-down in low income years thereby allowing primary producers to better manage variable income patterns.

Interest on FMDs is earned at market rates.

An FMD must normally be held for a minimum of 12 months in order for the associated tax benefits to be realised.
