DQ 1: Main income equalisation scheme
or “Tax deductions for farmers who save income in a special scheme”
You could also call this:

“Tax deduction for adverse event income equalisation scheme no longer available”

You used to be able to get a tax deduction for something called the “adverse event income equalisation scheme”. However, this is no longer the case. The law that allowed this was removed on 18 March 2019. This means you can’t use this scheme anymore to reduce your taxable income.
