DP 5: Forestry encouragement agreement: deductions
or “Getting money back for costs under a forestry agreement”
You could also call this:

“No deduction for exempt advance payments under forestry agreements”

If you have made a forestry encouragement agreement under the Forestry Encouragement Act 1962, you can’t claim a deduction for some money in certain situations. This happens when you get an advance payment under the agreement, and that payment is exempt income according to section CW 2. If you later don’t have to pay back some or all of the advance, you can’t claim a deduction for that amount. This rule applies even if you would normally be allowed to claim a deduction.
