Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Scheme (TAMS 3): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the TAMS 3 scheme provides grants for farm infrastructure investments like milking parlours and slurry tanks.
This scheme provides financial assistance to farmers looking to invest in modern infrastructure for their holdings.
Who it's for
This program is designed for farmers who meet specific criteria regarding investment in farm infrastructure.
What you get
You can receive grant aid to help cover the costs of capital investments. Depending on the specific project, the grant covers a portion of your expenses, typically ranging from 40% to 60% of the cost for items such as milking parlours or slurry tanks.
What it costs you
While the grant provides financial support, you will need to manage the administrative requirements of the process. This includes obtaining necessary planning permission and providing tax clearance certificates to prove your standing.
The catch to know
The most important rule is timing: you must receive your official grant approval letter before you begin any construction or investment work. If you start your project before the approval arrives, you may lose your eligibility for the funding.
How to apply
- Confirm that your planned infrastructure meets the specific investment criteria.
- Secure any required planning permissions for your site.
- Obtain the necessary tax clearance certificates.
- Submit your application through the official channels to receive your approval letter before starting work.
