Agriculture and Business: Inheritance Tax

Asked by Charlie DewhirstConservativeDepartment for Environment, Food and Rural AffairsTabled Answered 16 June 2025UIN 59548

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether his Department has contributed to modelling on inheritance tax revenue expected to be raised by proposed reforms to (a) Agricultural Property Relief and (b) Business Property Relief.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

HMT undertakes its own modelling on revenues raised by tax changes. See page 118 here Autumn Budget 2024 – HC 295. The expected revenue from changes to APR and BPR were based on HMRC data. This was independently assessed by the OBR. See page 58 here Economic and fiscal outlook – CP 1169.
