DO 8: Meaning of planting and plot
or “Explanation of 'planting' and 'plot' for horticultural businesses in tax reporting”

“How to calculate the percentage of your horticultural plot that's been replanted or regrafted”

In section DO 6, you’ll find out what ‘replaced area fraction’ means for a planting in a year. It’s calculated using a simple formula: (replacement area ÷ plot area) × 100%.

The ‘replacement area’ is the part of your plot where you’ve planted or regrafted new listed horticultural plants during the year to replace old ones. You measure this area at the end of the year.

The ‘plot area’ is the total size of your entire plot at the end of the year.

To work out the replaced area fraction, you divide the replacement area by the plot area and then multiply by 100%. This gives you a percentage that shows how much of your plot you’ve replanted or regrafted in that year.
