Farmers are taking a stand against a proposed tax increase and the removal of a 1990s tax break that permits exemption from inheritance tax for farm properties.
The impending tax changes state that from April 2026, farms valued over £1 million will face a 20% tax upon inheritance, which farmers argue could devastate family-run farms.
Protesters claim these tax reforms threaten the viability of family farms, exacerbating the financial difficulties already faced by many farmers in the region.
Farmers fear that the new inheritance tax poses an existential threat to their operations, as families who have worked generations to build their farms could lose everything.
