inheritance tax

It is a sentiment shared over changes in the Budget to inheritance tax for farmers, which prompted protests in London on Tuesday.

The government argues existing inheritance tax isn’t fair or sustainable – as everyone else sufficiently well off to pay it is charged 40% and farmers are charged nothing.

Mr Barton said the government's attempts to target the wealthiest landowners who were investing in farms to avoid inheritance tax could see small farms like his ultimately sold off.

A Welsh farmer has had sleepless nights and been left feeling "angry and scared" since changes to inheritance tax rules were announced.

But he says the Budget announcement ending APR on inheritance tax has ended that.
