Keeping the Farm in the Family: Planning ahead of the 2026 Changes

Join us at Sheppy’s Cider Farm on Tuesday 21st October 2025 for a practical and insightful session designed specifically for farmers and landowners.

We will explore the funding landscape, financial planning strategies, and legal implications of the new rules, plus an interactive demonstration of drone crop spraying.

For background, from April 2026, new inheritance tax rules could have a major impact on farming families. For generations, Agricultural Property Relief (APR) and Business Property Relief (BPR) have allowed farms to pass from one generation to the next with minimal tax burden. But with the reforms announced in the 2024 Autumn Budget, a £1m cap per person will be introduced, with only partial relief available above that threshold. This shift could mean sizeable tax bills for many farms, sometimes forcing difficult decisions about selling land or assets.
