This seems like an eminently sensible suggestion for modifying the proposed #FamilyFarmTax. Not sure how much tax revenue it would raise, but it would help close the loophole used by wealthy individuals to avoid #iht. What do you think, @NFu? scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

This is what I think, I may be wrong. 1984 Thather introduced a mechanism providing a loophole for wealthy farmers/landowners to avoid inheritance tax. This led to other wealthy individuals such as Dyson & Clarkson spending millions on buying up land. Govt is trying to fix it .

Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own. Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest?... 1/

Unfortunate misinformation on the #IHT on farms on @RepScot this evening, suggesting that only "small family farms" were exempt from inheritance tax before the proposed change, whereas it was all farms -- a very different picture. Hope there will be a correction.

“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?” @vicderbyshire speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans.

"In France, ... , farmers can access tax relief if they jump through administrative hoops to prove they work the land themselves." Seems a reasonable compromise. #IHT #farmers What are the inheritance tax changes affecting UK farmers? theguardian.com/environment/20…
