Scrap inheritance tax for farmers? Feat. Owen Jones & Angela Epstein | Jeremy Vine

[@Lynnpjjbdndji]

Clarkson bought his farm in 2008 and he openly said it was to avoid inheritance tax...... Pay Your Tax .....

[@TheRuthdobson]

And??? He earned his money, paid tax, brought a farm so why should he and all the others farmers pay more tax? No farmers no food, just want they want, us eating bugs and lab grown meat. Fools

Speaking of Brexit, I remember Boris Johnson moronically boasting about how good it will be for British farmers to compete with the imports of cheaper meat from abroad via new trade deals. Anyone who disagreed with him and correctly pointed out that British farmers do not need more competition as it will decrease their income was called "unpatriotic" and Johnson claimed they didn't have faith in our farmers.

Just spare a moment and let me remind you of two very important facts which has resulted in the present issues with farmers, and just why they are piddled off with Britains Governments. When we left the EU the Brexit campaign told farmers that 100% they would keep their subsidies, Boris Johnson, who does not have a good relationship with the truth, also said the same. The National Farmers Union council was overwhelmingly in support of "Remain" but decided not to campaign, as it would upset some of their larger farmers, also Michael Gove ran around 'promising the earth' to farmers and many enviromental groups were supportive. But their plans fell on deaf ears.

Easy loophole here that farmers seem not to be taking advantage of. Don't include the assets on top of the land when you calculate the land worth. Why include a tractor or fencing as part of the land value? That will definitely mean you meet the threshold - be smart farmers not emotional ones. But I suspect the farmers fury is not about minimising their tax bill, because there are legal ways to do that. This is more about everyone now looking at the wealthiest in society and how they've been living comfortably off the misery of the working and middle classes for 20 years and their natural resistance to change.
