20/11/24 Farmers rally in central London
Big rally in central London as thousands of farmers voice their anger at the government's changes to agricultural property relief and inheritance tax.
Thousands of people have protested in London over changes to inheritance tax for farmers announced in the budget. Farmers from around the country came to an NFU rally in Church Hall and a big march in Westminster. They're worried about changes which mean that from April 2026, inherited agricultural assets worth more than 拢1m, which were previously exempt, will be liable to tax.
The government says it understands farmers' concerns but insists the vast majority of farmers won't be affected.
