Basic Payment Scheme Transition Period

With the previous Basic Payment Scheme no longer available, the Rural Payments Agency have now been phasing out direct payments in England from 2021. The progressive reductions will move to a dividend style payment, reducing your annual subsidy until the last BPS payment appearing in 2027. The process is automatic and no further BPS claims are needed.

Please contact WebbPaton LLP if you need any help in understanding your BPS delinked payments going forward or have any questions. Countryside Stewardship capital grants and the new Sustainable Farming Incentive schemes are available for applications and continue to help bridge the gap between the falling BPS payments. Please do contact us for more information on this.
