Exceptional Circumstances Exit Grant

If you are a farmer, and have owned a farm in an “exceptional circumstances” area for at least five years, and you sell the farm after 25 September 2007, you may be eligible for a one-off lump sum taxable payment of up to $150,000. There is an assets test for this grant.

The Exit Grant is part of a broader Government package which also includes:

  • Exceptional Circumstances Advice and Re-training Grant
  • Exceptional Circumstances Relocation Grant
