An 80-year-old Dorset farmer died after refusing life-saving care, fearing inheritance tax changes that would have taxed family farms over £1 million starting April 2026.
A Dorset farmer, 80, died after signing a DNR order, reportedly due to anxiety over upcoming inheritance tax changes that would have taxed family farms over £1 million at 20% starting April 2026.
His family said he didn’t want to live past April 5, fearing financial strain on his estate.
Though the government later allowed tax-free transfer of up to £5 million in agricultural assets to spouses, the change came too late.
The incident sparked protests and criticism from farming advocates, who warned of risks to rural livelihoods and food security.
