IFS family farm tax: Government needs to swallow their pride and axe the tax

26 Nov 2024

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the IFS suggesting that the Government changes its proposals to farmland inheritance tax, Liberal Democrat Environment spokesperson Tim Farron MP said:

“The Government hid behind the IFS to try and justify this disastrous policy. That very same organisation is now telling them that their own proposals need an overhaul.

“It would be beggars belief for the government to continue to push forward with these stupid plans.

“They need to swallow their pride, realise the damage this family farm tax will do and axe the tax.”
