You can read more about calculating deductible FMIS payments at Forestry managed investment schemes.
If the SMSF pays an income stream (pension) to a member, refer to How are expenses treated when an SMSF has ECPI? before you claim a deduction for the SMSF's FMIS expenses.
Non-deductible forestry managed investment scheme expenses
Write at U2 the total amount of payments made under an FMIS that are not deductible The SMSF cannot claim a deduction for certain excluded payments. For more information see Forestry managed investment schemes.
The SMSF cannot claim a deduction for payments if the income from the FMIS is exempt income, such as exempt current pension income.
For information on the SMSF's eligibility to claim deductions, if the SMSF incurred expenses to do with a collapsed agribusiness managed investment scheme, then see Collapse of agribusiness managed investment schemes: participant information.
Example 'SMSF with no ECPI': FMIS expenses
SMSF U has no exempt current pension income, foreign income or non-arm's-length income.
SMSF U is entitled to a deduction of $800 for payments made to an FMIS in 2015–16.

I1 Deductible forestry managed investment scheme expenses $800
I2 Non-deductible forestry managed investment scheme expenses (Blank)

Example 'SMSF with ECPI': FMIS expenses
SMSF UU pays an income stream to one of its three members and some of its income is exempt from income tax under the exempt current pension income rules.
SMSF UU made payments of $800 to an FMIS in 2015–16.
Using the rules described at How are expenses treated when an SMSF has ECPI? SMSF UU determines that $200 of the payments relate to earning its ECPI.

I1 Deductible forestry managed investment scheme expenses $600
I2 Non-deductible forestry managed investment scheme expenses $200
