flag UK raises farm inheritance tax relief to £2.5M, effective April 2026, to support family farms.

flag The UK government has raised the inheritance tax relief threshold for farmers to £2.5 million, effective April 2026, up from £1 million, following consultations with the farming sector. flag The change, announced December 23, aims to support rural family businesses and was framed as a result of open dialogue, despite criticism over timing and initial backlash. flag The move includes a £5 million tax-free allowance for spouses and 50% relief on amounts above that, capping the effective tax rate at 20%. flag While the government denies a rushed reversal, some Labour MPs opposed the shift, with one losing the whip. flag Farmers welcomed the adjustment, though many stress that trust must be rebuilt through sustained action.
