Lib Dem Deputy Leader Urges U-turn on Family Farms Tax
Liberal Democrat deputy leader and treasury spokesperson Daisy Cooper MP has urged the UK Government to rethink its proposed Family Farms Tax ahead of this month’s UK Government Budget.
During a visit to a Powys farm with local MP David Chadwick, Cooper met with representatives from the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) and local farmers to discuss the impact of the Government’s proposed changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR).
The Liberal Democrats have warned that the family farms tax proposals are putting enormous strain on family and small farms already under pressure from rising costs, volatile markets, and years of trade deals agreed by the previous Government.
Earlier this week, Number 10 confirmed there would be no changes to the APR proposals, a move the Liberal Democrats described as a kick in the teeth for British farmers and the wider rural economy.
