The real threat to British farmers… and it isn’t the ‘tractor tax’
The IndependentI am dismayed by the protesting farmers’ sense of entitlement and pleading for special treatment. The London protest against the “tractor tax” is one funded by obscenely wealthy people who don’t want to pay any tax at all. Even after Labour’s changes, the tax due on a £3m house inherited from your parents would be £800,000, whereas tax on a £3m farm inherited from your parents would be… nothing! Geoffrey Brooking Havant, Hampshire Wood, for the greater good It’s not just farmers who are subject to the new inheritance tax rules – forestry is, too. Various mainstream news and social media platforms state the obvious, that society must “open up” and “form a common dialogue” when it comes to progressively addressing the challenge of men’s mental health.
