the national farmers union has accused the government of "betrayal" — but ministers insist the majority with more analysis on this inheritance tax and what it means for farmers — here's our business editor simonjack. there are nearly 210,000 farms in the uk, and according to figures from the industry and government, around 70,000 of those are worth over £1 million, so potentially eligible to be hit by this new tax threshold. but that's not the full story. inheritance tax exemptions special rules about bequeathing, to family members and spouses, means the threshold could be as high as £3 million. now let's compare that number to what's happened in recent years. in 2021 to 2022, there were 117 farms that came above the £2.5 million threshold. now, not all families are going to get those exemptions depending on different circumstances. but independent economists, government figures suggest that the real number of people going to be hit by this is closer to the mid hundreds, 500 or so or even less. now, there is no doubt that farmers have been hit very hard in recent years. they've been clo

the national farmers union has accused the government of "betrayal" — but ministers insist the majority chu has been looking at the numbers. how many farms will be affected by the changes to inheritance tax in the budget? farming groups are claiming up to 70,000 in total, but the treasury estimates fewer than 500 a year. now, that 70,000 figure looks like a considerable overestimate. there were around 1,700 claims for agricultural property relief, for inheritance tax in total in 2022, and only 27% were for properties valued at above £1 million. that suggests a maximum of around 500 farms, which would have been affected by the new tax change, which is the origin of the treasury's estimate that a maximum of 500 a year will be affected going forward. however, one of the claims of farmers is that even if their farm land is worth more than £1 million, the new threshold for inheritance tax to be paid, that doesn't make them wealthy. and there is some truth to this. government figures suggest the average return on capital for farms — essentially, the amount of value farmers can extract from th

those who can't get into this official event organised by the national farmers' union.re are lots happening quite often in london at the weekends particularly, and they have to be managed somehow. they do. and the metropolitan police manage where and when they can take place. they say that they apply the same legislative framework to each and every notification we receive without fear or favour, and strongly deny any claims of two tier policing. it's worth mentioning, of course, there is really deep set anger among farmers at the changes announced in the budget. i've been speaking to farmers over the last few days, saying that this will impact a much wider proportion of farms than the treasury say will only impact the most valuable and the most wealthy farmers. and it's fair that they may pay some inheritance tax. farmers argue that because many farms are large, even if they are cash poor, they are asset rich. and so that's why they will be taxed. and that there are fears from the farming community that they will lead to many more farmers being taxed when they pass them

the national farmers' union knows a thing or two about a photocall. baby lambs, as well. exactly. there'll be all of that, presumably, because some farmers are very unhappy about this imposition on some farms of inheritance tax at 20%, half the rate that applies to some other people, 40% at death. now, the chancellor, i thought, struggled somewhat to explain the mitigations that she says she has put in place when you challenged her on it. the £1 million allowance that a couple has before agricultural property relief will exist for her family. . in addition to that, the individual claim - for agricultural property relief is £1 million now. | but if the farm is- owned by two people. then of course you could then transfer that allowance - to the other person. so you can pass on- without paying any tax, for most cases, a farm worth £3 million. - after that, the tax rate for inheritance tax - for agricultural property. is 20%, compared to 40% that everyone else pays. and you can pay that over a . ten—year period interest free. interesting this one, because

the national farmers union says so, it is shortly to publish a report showing that 75% of all commercialfall above the threshold. if the government are not going to reverse this terrible policy, will the right honorable lady at least commit to no further increases to inheritance tax and no further reductions in agricultural property relief or business property relief in this parliament? >> the honorable gentleman talks about the facts, and i absolutely stand by the figures that the government have set out. the vast majority of estate owners will be totally unaffected. the honorable gentleman wants to talk about the figures. i will be crystal clear, the vast majority of estate owners will see no change and pay no tax on land passed on that is valued at £1 million. couples can pass on £3 million tax-free, and those above the threshold will pay only half the normal rate and can pay it over 10 years interest-free. >> this is just another part of the budget that is unravelling. everyone here and all the farmers at home will have heard that there was no guarantee there. we know what that means
