Hundreds of tractors in London as farmers brand PM Keir Starmer a 'grave robber' over tax blow

Can you imagine if those first two women's dad died and he left it to their brother and they pay the 20% inheritance and then the brother died 1 year later then they'd have to pay that 20% again. None of us should be paying this. We've paid tax on everything we own and every thing we've earned or bought. All our lives its tax and tax and more Tax and then tax has to be paid AGAIN by our descendants for whatever we manage to leave them. The fkn roads aren't even being swept anymore here.

Nobody should pay inheritance tax, especially the farmers who can't just sell a bit to raise cash. It's a death tax on things you've already paid tax on to buy, so effectively taxed twice. Move abroad now if you can before things get much worse.

[@vylbird8014]

All taxes are, because money goes around and around. You pay income tax, then you pay VAT at the store, the store pays corporation tax*, the store pays their employees who also pay income tax, who then shop somewhere else and pay VAT... and around and around and around it goes. With each transaction there is a chance for the government to tax a little, and they in turn use that money to pay their employees or pay suppliers and contractors. *Well, no, because the store probably makes all their profits in a small office in Jersey for tax reasons, but you get the idea.

The common story of the famous Boston Tea Party isn't quite right: The protest wasn't triggered by a new tax as such, but by a tax exemption that only applied the to the politically well-connected East India Company.

[@vylbird8014]

It's true, but it's not exactly government's fault. It's just that farming in the UK isn't really economical any more. Labor costs are relatively expensive, in global terms. Land prices are hugely high, compared to most of the world. There are strict environmental, safety and animal welfare laws. And the climate is famously unpredictable, making harvests inconsistent. It's actually cheaper to import many foods from elsewhere in the world - where farms can be huge and so benefit from a greater economy of scale, and where agricultural laborers earn a few pounds a day. The UK supports farming with a number of tax incentives - they pay no fuel tax - and outright subsidies in the form of grants. Until recently, the inheritance tax exemption was one of those incentives. But it's still not enough. The farmer interviewed in the video says that importing food is more expensive, but he is just wrong: Modern shipping makes importing dirt cheap. The same super-cheap shipping that lets you buy cheap tat on Temu can just as easily carry a refrigerated container full of meat, fruit and veg, and bulk cargo is even cheaper.

If farmers strike or sell up we will just import more food. Let them get on with it. They won't of course because it only affects a small percentage of them.

[@pitbladdodavid]

@ it doesn’t affect a small percentage at all. It affects us all. Look at how prices go up when fuel goes up. Distribution costs are added to your food prices. Energy costs have been added to your food prices. So what do you think will happen with this. Spain has already cut supply to us due to their problems with storms destroying greenhouses etc. this will increase supply and demand. Not all may be affected, but all will add that extra cost to their produce. If not, supermarkets will. This isn’t just about inheritance tax. We’ve got a PM stating we need to reduce our meat consumption. That means more plant based. Yet he’s just added more tax to imported fertilisers. Well reducing your livestock herd reduces natural fertiliser meaning more synthetic is needed and then it’s having tax added to it, so that’s increasing costs also. But hey, blame the farmers.

Because they would have to sell land every generation and it may not be worth running a family farm.

Farmers are vital to manage the countryside and produce food.

Farmers don't want to pay inheritance tax (only a small amount would anyway). Parents don't want to pay vat on private school education, employers don't want to pay extra NI costs.

The tide of change is here, prisons, and immigrants get free rent, food, and our poor English are starving on less than healthy benefit allocations, the future will see our country taking produce from overseas and it will increment yearly, then suddenly, it will stop and it will be war... (And in our distant future, again people will ask, what was Egypt, what happened before this time, was there a war of mass destruction? It is no joke that K.S. once said in his early alcoholic days of 1986/88, "I want an all black Parliament. " [...] he was removed from that same residential home party, as one lady screamed at his profanities "Get out you nasty drunk". I clearly remember him being so drunk, he zig zagged away into the distance, unable to walk straight. It was long ago decided, by people who knew him or met him, that he is totally bonkers and not a sane man. How times change, as he portrays himself as a squeaky clean vege and it is so scary, that he now runs the country. I do believe he is the beginning of the end of England as we want it to be, and our farmers, if not supported, will mark the end for England and English people. Without FOOD we will starve if we rely too heavily on importations. And to answer, "The door is open, leave, if you don't like it." I am really thinking about it, as without our farmers, it will be a bleak and cold future in an over populated postage stamp with no food production. Ancient history tells a sad tale, if you look and we are speedily zooming towards destruction. If Russia takes the bread basket and we have no basket of our own, we will not survive a war.

[@MaybeLater82]

...I thought it was 4%?

[@pitbladdodavid]

@@DavidJohnson-ju6ru that’s completely wrong. It’s all farmers whose assets are. So if you’re sitting on a farm that’s now worth let’s say 5 million. Your return is 5%. That’s 52,000 a year you’re bringing in. Now inheritance on that 5 million asset is 20% of 5 million minus any parental handover which government has said 1 million. So 20% of 4 million. That’s 800,000. So you’ve got 10 years to pay it off. Your wage is 52,000 but you’re paying off 80,000 each year. So for the first 10 years of owning the farm you’re going 30,000 in debt each year and have nothing to live off of. Now say you inherit it and in the meantime you die and your son then inherits it. That’s a further 800,000 on top of that because it’s inherited.

[@DavidJohnson-ju6ru]

@@pitbladdodavid And that is mostly wrong. The £1 million is on top of all the other spousal exemptions and nil-rate bands that people can access for inheritance tax too. This means that two people with farmland, depending on their circumstances, can pass on up to £3 million without paying any inheritance tax. Even then, you are talking about someone who is in the wealthiest 5% of people in the UK.

[@pitbladdodavid]

@ spouse exemptions come with a list of criteria. It’s not an automatic relief. For instance how many farms are under the ownership of mum and dad. It’s not. Government have been banding around this 3 million relief. But in essence it’s only 1 due to the stipulations put in place. And again. See how much of a return these multi million farms are giving. I know many farms that the sons who would possibly inherit it run the farm and the parents pensions are the farm income. The inherited have second jobs to pay for their income and these are farms worth over £3 million. Due to the stipulations set out on how you can claim any relief and they are still paying 20% on millions where then it eats away at the inheritors pension one of these stipulations is if it’s handed over on the 7 year rule, the parents cannot be living in the house. So you are then hoping the farm has any other habitation. Well it may, but that maybe rented out to say an old farm worker or a private tenant. But even that asset is taxed upon. So now on top of that the original owner has to find another home and pay for it.
