Calculating your allowance for LMO
Question 3 - Calculate your area
You have a maximum yearly allowance (the most you can claim in that year) for LMO based on the total area of land you declared in your SAF including any allocation of common grazings. Enter the total area of land declared on your SAF data sheets. If you have common grazings, use the previous year's allocation unless you know it has changed.
Question 4 - Calculating your allowance available for new LMO options
Use the figure for total land from question 3 to work out your total allowance. Deduct the amounts used for existing LMO commitments (these figures will be printed). This gives the allowance available to you to undertake new LMO commitments.
