UK farmers: share your views on the changes to inheritance tax

In her autumn budget announcement, Rachel Reeves stated that farms in the UK valued at over £1 million will now be subject to inheritance tax, ending their previous exemption.

Starting in April 2026, there will be a 50% inheritance tax relief for business and agricultural assets valued over £1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 20%.
