Landcare and tax

The Australian Government helps rural landholders claim a tax deduction for landcare works. Landholders need to have a Land Management Plan to claim landcare tax deductions.

Details of the deduction are found at the Australian Taxation Office (Landcare Operations) or Australian Taxation Office (Landcare Operations Tax Concessions).
