Inheritance Tax: Public Consultation

Asked by Joe RobertsonConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 4 December 2024UIN 16376

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will launch a public consultation on the proposed changes to business property relief.

Answered by James Murray

The Government published information about the reforms to business property relief at www.gov.uk/government/publications/agricultural-property-relief-and-business-property-relief-reforms.

The Government will publish a technical consultation in early 2025. This will focus on the detailed application of the allowance to lifetime transfers into trusts and charges on trust property. This will inform the legislation to be included in a future Finance Bill.
