Farmers Urge Prime Minister to Reconsider Inheritance Tax Changes

Farmers in the UK are protesting against upcoming inheritance tax changes, urging Prime Minister Keir Starmer to consult them before implementing the policy. Despite claims that most farmers will remain unaffected, leaders from the National Farmers’ Union argue that many are asset-rich but cash-poor, risking their livelihoods. The proposed changes will impose a 20% tax on inherited agricultural assets over £1 million starting April 2026. Calls for a more equitable approach to taxation focusing on personal wealth rather than business wealth have emerged.
