Lets say I take on some land on an FBT starting in September and buy the entitlements off the outgoing tenant.

Am I right in thinking that the outgoing tenant will keep the payment received in December 2017 and it will be December 2018 (assuming I get paid on time) before I get the payment for this land?

If you are taking over in September presumably the outgoing tenant will submit the 2017 BPS and receive the payment. You will submit the 2018 BPS claim and receive the 2018 payment, provided you have sufficient entitlements in 2018.
