UK Farmers Rally Against Inheritance Tax Reforms Amid Economic Concerns

The NFU has condemned the government's tax changes as a betrayal to farmers, claiming that it undermines assured promises regarding agricultural property relief (APR).

Farmers believe the changes will unfairly impact family farms valued over £1 million, in stark contrast to the government's assertions that most farmers will be exempt from the new tax.

With the simultaneous pressures of rising living costs and challenges in food production, farmers fear that the new inheritance tax could force them to sell their family farms, leading to an increased reliance on imports and potential threats to national food security.
