That % of “affected” doesn’t mean they are all in deep trouble. It means this will touch on them in some small way mostly - apart from the biggest farms it’s like high rate tax earners taking to the street when Osborne dragged child/benefit claimants into self assessment. A mild pain the more I read, the more obviously confected it is. Still - just as with farage and his banking “woes”, a social media campaign is no barrier to the gullible what percentage of farms affected by Brexit and to what degree compared go IHT? Or does that not matter? Thats different money is it? -
Farmers groups say 35% of farms will be affected while the Treasury reckons its 27% - neither figure is a tiny portion. The problem is farming is often asset rich but cash poor meaning that those who inherit farms and have to pay the tax will likely need to sell land to pay for it and could well further impact the cash poor nature and productivity of that farm. I would have thought those who align on the left would be welcoming farmers protesting on the streets against a government making their lives more difficult. Good on them. Makes a change from tube and rail strikes at least! I was shocked to read that the average weekly earnings for agricultural workers was significantly lower than the national average. Clearly Labour doesn't consider these working people. -
A tax change that affects a tiny portion of farmers livelihoods and income - mass protest and wild accusations on forums like this Brexit which impacted farmers income and uk food security far far far more ? Crickets. Absolutely nothing. “Price worth paying mate “ Don’t be fooled about what this is about - it’s isn’t IHT.
