The government's new inheritance tax plans could impact 70,000 farms, but estimates suggest the actual number may be closer to 500 estates a year.
Farmers' groups argue that the new tax proposals are based on faulty data, alleging that the government's figures underestimate the potential damage to the agricultural sector.
The planned changes will mean that from April 2026, inherited agricultural assets over £1 million will be taxed at 20%, previously exempting many from these charges.
The Country Land and Business Association highlights that their estimates represent a significant portion of UK farms, indicating a substantial risk to the agricultural landscape.
