CAPP is worth €5,000 per hectare for farmers and landowners.
Farmers are calling for Ash Dieback CAPP payments to be exempt from USC and PRSI.
The Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers Association says farmers and landowners are going through a major effort to tackle the ash dieback problem and need 'meaningful support' from the Government.
The Climate Action Performance Payment is worth €5,000 per hectare and would be subject to USC between 0.5% and 8% and PRSI of 4%.
ICSA president, Westmeath's Sean McNamara, says the work to remove the affected trees is already difficult and costly:
