Agriculture and Business: Inheritance Tax

Asked by Aphra BrandrethConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 11 March 2025UIN 35097

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which Finance Bill will contain the proposed changes to (a) Agricultural Property Relief and (b) Business Property Relief.

Answered by James Murray

The Government believes its reforms to agricultural property relief and business property relief from 6 April 2026 get the balance right between supporting farms and businesses, and fixing the public finances.

Legislation implementing this policy will be brought forward in the Finance Bill ahead of the measure taking effect.
