Tories: Farmers’ personal cost not forgotten despite inheritance tax change - Labour’s watered-down plans will see the relief threshold for farmers raised from £1 million to £2.5 million.

A Shropshire farmer has said the announcement that the government's proposals to tax inherited farmland have been watered down is "a massive Christmas present for the majority of Shropshire's farmers"...

Shadow environment secretary Victoria Atkins criticised the Government for making the announcement so close to Christmas, with Parliament in recess and currently unable to scrutinise it “properly”.
