Farmers are protesting in Cardiff today in response to the UK government's recent changes to inheritance tax (IHT) on agricultural property. Announced in the October 2024 budget, these changes will, from April 2026, cap Agricultural Property Relief at ยฃ1 million. This means that inherited agricultural assets exceeding this value will be subject to a 20% tax rate, whereas previously, such assets were largely exempt from IHT.
The government argues that this measure is intended to prevent the super-wealthy from exploiting tax reliefs. However, many farmers contend that it threatens the survival of family farms, potentially forcing them to sell parts of their land to cover tax liabilities. The National Farmers' Union (NFU) has expressed deep concern, highlighting the negative impact on family farms and potential severe human consequences, such as suicides among ill or elderly farmers.
Today's protest in Cardiff is part of a series of demonstrations across the UK, including recent tractor rallies in London, where farmers voiced their opposition to the IHT changes. These coordinated protests aim to urge the government to reconsider the policy, emphasising the importance of family farms to rural economies and food production.
