There are no plans to raise the TAMS II ceiling from the current level of €80,000. It should be noted that in the case of eligible farm partnerships the overall investment ceiling is raised to €160,000. In addition, the investment ceiling under the LESS Scheme is not subject to the overall TAMS II investment ceiling.
