    To pay IHT farmers will need over £3 million. That was just 117 farms last year or 5% of the total.

    The average salary in the UK is just under £30k. With £1m, you could live like the average person for just over 33 years if you do nothing, longer or more if you invest it. Stop complaining. The average person will never see such wealth and starts paying IHT on smaller inheritance estates.
    Furthermore, if you're worried by IHT, why not gift the estate? Oh wait, Capital Gains Tax? Poor you!

      But that doesn't mean they shouldn't pay tax, if they are over the huge tress hold. That being said, if a farm isn't that lucrative investment from dodgy people that obtained huge amount of wealth thanks to (quite often) someone's else work, the price will go down. I hope that farmers aren't hit hard, but the only negative I can think of is them not being able to borrow that much against their farm value.

    On inheritance tax you pay 40% over a £325,000 threshold. If one inherits an estate worth half a million you pay £70,000 tax. You still have £430,000 left afterwards. At £3000 a month that would last you nearly 12 years just doing nothing.

    As someone who DOESN'T own their own house, and also won't be inheriting anything from their parents I'm afraid I hear the crying over inheritance tax as a big non-issue. But, at the same time I appreciate that a lot of people, especially of my generation, the first generation to be expected to do worse, financially, healthily and mentally, than our parents did, at least for a long time, and also largely because of decisions made by the generations of our parents, that inheritance is probably their only hope of owning a home, so I do also sympathise. And it's to those sympathies that I find the farmland inheritance thing to be massively a case of 'Look, guys, you've benefitted massively, now it's a case of just accepting that this NEEDS to be done and you're gonna have to adopt that Blitz spirit and get on with it, like the rest of us have been.'
    I have lived in various parts of Europe, Germany and Ireland were the two biggest, my biggest takeaway with healthcare there is actually how healthy their outlook is on health and healthcare. We demonise our ill and disabled colleagues, peers and neighbours, making it hard, sometimes impossible, to disclose our needs upfront. Other countries don't have that attitude as much as we do, and honestly we used to be better. Occupational health adjustments for disabled people is seen as a barrier to employment, taking time off for chronic or mental health issues is seen as a loss of revenue, and of wages. We have adopted an American view of employment recently that essentially just sees the bottom profit line as the only one that matters. Societal expectations of employers is virtually nil these days and even though corporations will tell you how much they care, if you have more than your allotted days sick in a year you will be placed under scrutiny in the hopes that you can be released from employment without fault.
    Both of these cases are a result of American style 'me first' populist politics encouraged by the previous government and by their sponsors, some of which are detailed in James' own book, and while I was well aware of the issue, I wasn't aware of how deep it goes until recently. Labour will hopefully be a light in showing this to be the case, and a force in fixing this.

      I've also been lucky enough to have visited a few African countries, and in this country we almost universally see Africa as a single unit that is poor and desperate. There are rich people in Africa, although fewer than other continents, and largely that's because of our attitude to them, which has been largely built by media like the Band Aid song. We don't think of Africa as a culturally diverse continent with more difference from culture to culture than we do even in Europe. There's a weird phenomenon in the US where they think of Europe as being either like Paris or like a 90s war torn Eastern European city, and that the whole continent is the same, and we do the same for Africa. Not just that but Africa is seen as a source of cheap or even unpaid labour, even today. The actual way of helping those countries in Africa that are more poverty stricken isn't to just hand out money or food, although that does definitely help, but it's to help them develop their economy, in the same way we do, or used to do, with our European and Asian neighbours, with trade, with tourism, fair trade, although not perfect, is more beneficial to poor African countries than Band Aid was, at least as I've seen. Charities are fine, and on the whole they don't wrap everything up into one continent in need of help, they usually describe where their money is going and most no longer focus on Africa or African countries, they tout their help in other places and mostly in disaster relief, but we can definitely do better.
      Also, white people aren't any better than black people, we aren't the saviours of the world, and honestly we need to get our own poor helped. Instead we worship the likes of Elon Musk, an idiot who has been given so much economic power that the poor of the US could be lifted above the poverty line by his 'net worth' alone.

    So when people see a protest about tax which is being 'fronted' by a famous rich person, it will he hard to get their sympathy.

    This speaks to the economic illiteracy of you and your viewers.
    They can't just "sell some stuff" they're being taxed on the asset value of their land and property, not their incomes. Farms are asset rich and cash poor - most farms, even the big ones, get by at either at a small loss or getting by on break evens.
    Since the value of the property is multiplied by the sum total of all the assets on the farm, selling it in parts would net you less than what you could get by selling it all. Like an apple pie - pastry and apple alone do not have much value alone, but a chef can masterfully incorporate them into a final product multiple times the value of its ingredients, and farms are the same.
    Since most farms get by on breaking even, the 10 year interest free installment plan and ignoring the first million pounds is still an empty gesture: markets and conditions are not reliable or stable enough to promise a consistent profit margin over 10 years. Assuming the best possible conditions over the course of ten years with no sudden impact like drought, market crashes, etc. Itd take the average performing farm 12 years to pay it off assuming the best.

      @@chancock4222
      It seems you were the one not paying attention - I explain why this doesn't work using the apple pie analogy. Selling off some of their assets alone will not work, the totality of the farms value is the sum of its parts. Removing assets not only lessen the value of the whole, but the individual part being sold too. Even if they had the hypothetical parts needed t'pay it off, once they enter the transaction stage, the parts lose their sum value & would not pay it off.
      Assuming we could hypothetically uncook an apple pie to sell the pastry & apples seperate, you would lose money selling them separately than if you were t' sell them in the form of an apple pie.
      Let's say it takes £10 t'get all the ingredients of an apple pie. This is enough t'cut it into seven slices and they all sell. I charge £3.50 per slice for a profit of £14.40 therefore the sum total of the applie pie's value is £24.50
      Value is not in the parts alone, 'tis the sum total of their value in confjuction with other parts & what they can produce altogether. Parts alone will not cover it.
      Lets not forget that even if they could pay it all off on parts alone, theyd need to buy them all again, so they would have to take on even more debt & more losses of profits.
      This translates into charging more for produce, which would mean making the groceries more expensive.

    Yeah, sorry, but the farmers are angry, and they have been scuppered over and over again. Charlie has unleashed a lot of anger- which is the same anger that Clarkson and the others in Westminster were discussing today. I understand where Charlie is coming from. I'm from Devon. There are so many farms that have been unable to continue, and the land has been bought up and paved over for houses. We've lost hundreds and hundreds of acres for dairy farming and beef farming over the past 15 years and even now, we are losing more countryside almost monthly the way the government is pushing for housing. No one cares about farming in the Westcountry, and this is now abundantly clear for all farmers across the UK. Sad times.

      Thats 28.800 per year for 10 years leading to an inheritance tax of an average of 288.000£.

      They can pay it, atop that, the uk has some of he lowest yield per acre in the eu, mostly due to a lack of innovation.
      You get an inheritance of 442 acres which leads to 53-28k of revenue per year for 10 years and then you get the full 53k revenue. Thats a decent income for anyone, being near double what the lower end of he populace earns and falls well in the median income for brits (smackdab to the 50ieth percentile). It will mostly affect the very wealthy who own 3-100 estates worth of farmland who now have to face alot of inheritance tax and thus sell it off leading to more farmers and a greater wealth of the nation.
