Farm Business Committee
About the Farm Business & Taxation Committee
The IFA Farm Business Committee is a national committee, with elected representatives from all 29 of IFA’s County Executives. Committee members come from all different sectors of farming, thereby providing a comprehensive and up-to-date view of the business issues facing farm families. The Farm Business Committee has the lead role in developing the IFA annual pre-budget submission.
The key roles of the farm business committee are:
- Development of taxation policy proposals for farm businesses and families and identifying measures necessary to support farm investment, promote farm transfer and land mobility.
- Liaising with the banking sector on issues of credit relevant to farmers – access to credit, the cost of credit and length of decision making on loan applications
- Assisting farmers who may be encountering credit difficulties
