The onus will be on the government to demonstrate that this doesn’t have the impact that some fear it will have.” Responding to his warning, Tory MP Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, himself a farmer, said Mr Nowak was “correct to be worried about the hugely damaging impact of Labour’s tax increases on family farms”. “This is disastrous for them and their families and local businesses they support; disastrous for farming, because they are at the heart of animal-friendly welfare; and disastrous for the country, because small farms have some of the most important biodiversity.” Mo Metcalf-Fisher, head of external affairs at the Countryside Alliance, told The Independent that Mr Nowak’s concerns are “echoed across the farming sector”. And the president of the National Farmers’ Union, Tom Bradshaw, added: “Mr Nowak is right to be concerned about the impact of the family farm tax, and we welcome his comments.” open image in gallery Paul Nowak said the onus was on the government to make the case for the controversial tax Union boss Mr Nowak indicated he had less sympathy for those who had bought farmland in an attempt to avoid inheritance tax.
