So farmer may well end up selling the whole farm.
And once farmland is sold to builders it is permanently lost to farming which is a loss to the country.
Quite different from selling down a stock portfolio.
But there’s nothing about a farm that isn’t equally true about a property portfolio or a beautifully designed share portfolio. I’d like more land! isn’t a great case for an exemption.
My landlord died this year, he had over 100 properties
His family are in the process of selling some to cover the required taxes
I'm not sure why Farmers should get exemption thats all.
I possibly dont understand farming, I get that.
I just tend to be less sympathetic when I see millionaires complaining, about having to abide by the rules others have to
