How to report income from forestry managed investment schemes in myTax.

Last updated 25 June 2019

This section is about income you received from forestry managed investment schemes (FMIS).

Essentials

A forestry interest in an FMIS is a right to benefits produced by the scheme (whether the right is actual, prospective or contingent and whether it is enforceable or not).

You are an initial participant in an FMIS if you meet the following conditions:

  • you obtained your forestry interest in the FMIS from the forestry manager of the scheme
  • your payment to obtain the forestry interest in an FMIS results in the establishment of trees.

You are a subsequent participant if you are not an initial participant.

A forestry manager of an FMIS is the entity that manages, arranges or promotes the FMIS.

The amount of your total forestry scheme deductions is the total of each amount that you can deduct or have deducted for each income year that you held your forestry interest. For more information on amounts you can deduct, see Forestry managed investment scheme deduction.

The amount of your incidental forestry scheme receipts is the total of each amount that you received under the scheme in each income year that you held your forestry interest, other than amounts received because of a capital gains tax (CGT) event. A CGT event includes, a sale of all or part of a forestry interest or harvest proceeds.
