To pay IHT farmers will need over £3 million. That was just 117 farms last year or 5% of the total. Even then they pay at half the rate of everyone else.
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?

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.
I'm sorry but everyone needs to pay their fair share and the threshold is quite high. Jeremy Clarkson is not someone to listen to as he bought a farm so he doesn't need to pay tax. The farmer next door to me has a herd of cattle but fields of solar panels and glamping pods. Not much food is produced.
A lot of farmers are just Tories with muddy boots. The difference between them and the landed gentry is giving their money to a farm manager instead of an investment banker. I shed no tears for their taxable income. The fact that they've chosen Jeremy Clarkson as a figurehead says it all. I grew up in a tiny village surrounded by farmers, I never met one who had anything in common with the rest of us who just worked in shops or tried to learn trades. They're stuck up and in their own world.

This is it for me them using Jeremy clarkson as a figurehead for them is why ic ant agree with them. This is a man who isn’t a farmer but someone who admitted to using the farm not to pay inheritance tax. They had all the benefits do cheap labour in the EU lost that. Lost their EU subsidies.

It seems to work for a short while, but like scolding your dog for doing something wrong after a couple of days they're straight back at it. Maybe neutering is the answer!!!
Greedy, greedy, greedy. While everyone else is working, these lazy grifters 'protesting' that their fat tax dodges might go away for the millionaires. Deplorable.
Are you okay? Farmers grifters? This new policy will affect 60% of family run farms. The premise that farmers are millionaires is a lie. Jeremy Clarkson doesn't represent thousands of farmers. Another thing if Farmers have to sell land to pay their tax debt we'll see the urbanisation and destruction of the countryside.
True facts. Charlie just came across as unhinged-impossible to give any credence to his arguments, regardless of whatever validity they might have had.
With all this in mind. We should also be looking at foreign buyers of property in high end areas who use these properties as a "bank". Usually with no intention of ever renting it out.
A friend of mine said that it's easy to live on the minimum wage, because he does it. He's a farmer who grows most of his own food and trades for a lot of the rest. He puts a lot of the farm's income into the farm. And we don't have a capital gains tax (effectively), nor an estate tax. He just bought a new Ford Falcon.
Just as an aside from that shouty guy - Rapeseed (aka canola) Oil is insanely bad for you as a cooking oil/food additive. It was created as a engine oil, and it's great as a bio-fuel.. but personally i avoid it if possible in foods.
I can see the point in this not being a level playing field with corporations being immune from inheritance tax. Just make it a wealth tax 1% a year or so.
I hope I don't inherit a business that I don't know how to make money from. I mean I could sell it for millions and pay a couple hundred thousand in tax and change my life in every way.... Or I could make some money from my inheritance and pay the tax like that.... But other than that it's an impossible situation being thrown on helpless citizens!!!!! Outrage!!!!

Maybe what British agriculture NEEDS is for farms to be sold to new owners ... the complaints from Liz Webster and others that British farmers can't compete with international producers might indicate that new blood is needed.
O’Brien had an extremely hard time listening to the caller following screaming man without cutting him off. He does talk over people that he doesn’t agree with. I think he forgets that we can see him on UA-cam. Lol
The oldest trick in the book as a farmer is attributing every living expense all year long to business expenses, then spending all of your "Profit" at the end of the year on "Capital improvements", and then claim you are in the poor house to anyone who does or doesn't ask and most especially the government tax man.
You just inherit something. It's not the tax payer that has to make that work. It's your responsibility. If you don't want to make it work then sell it to someone who can succeed and then offer that to their ancestors.. 🤷♂
Clarkson's presence probably not helping the farmers' contrived appeal for public sympathy. He is famous for not being a poor bloke and has said things that clearly demonstrate that he is a wealthy man. 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. Farmers may get some headway in the public psyche if they keep parroting the line about them being "producers of food", "and food prices will go up". A simplistic message like that tends to work with the masses. Remember Brexit.
We are supposed to guarantee the security of the food supply! You can do this by either guaranteeing the small farmers their land or turning it over to big, commercial firms! The British need to decide one way or the other!!
@ Again, it’s about the food security! If there is a war or tariffs then the retailers won’t be involved with the choice! They will try to sell any food they can get their hands on! That will drive up the prices which will then be passed down to the consumers!
the average cost of an acre of land is a lot less now than it was in 1984 according to that gentlemans statistics. Unless you choose to ignore inflation...
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.
Concerning the band aid song, I've always had a problem with the line "the greatest gift they'll get this year is life" implying that this is true for all Africans.
Part of it is about protecting what they see as "a way of life". Think of all those coal miners in the US being against getting rid of coal. Who in their right mind would like to work in a mine? For them it has been a way of like for generations. So, even though economics surely play a role, especially for the more wealthy, i think it boils down to culture and fear of change
James I love your show. I live in Orlando FL. I want to say one thing about politics and everything else. People should stop being so lazy and take time to learn how your country works. In The U.S people are lazy and accept what they are told too much.
As a Farmer you can attribute everyday expenses to that of the business, the Farm House, the Land Rover, even energy costs. Their declared income, or profits, for most is not a ‘living wage’
I lived in the West Country, amongst the poor farmers. They all had kids that went to private school, spoke with posh accents, and drove brand new landrovers. They met for hunting wearing dapper clothes and looked like country gentlemen. Their weddings were huge. These people are the elite and live in another world to us. Don’t let them fool you.

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.

Which left lives and whole communities absolutely desecrated. And they lost it all without anything left to even cash-in on at the end.

They idea that farmers are asset rich only applies if they sell said assets (land) the land they need to farm... We are talking about familes that have worked on thr land for generations and are being painted as corporate fat cats another group of people we are being told to mock and hate. What happens when farmland gets sold off to pay for the tax? Urbanisation of our countryside, solar panels farms and a reduction in our abilty to produce food.
3mil min application threshold The avg farm in the uk is 442 acres at 10.00 per acre is 4.420.000mil, of which taxeable is 1.420.000mil at 20% to be paid over 10 years. Thats 28.800 per year for 10 years leading to an inheritance tax of an average of 288.000£. Each acre generates on average 120£ per year worth of goods, leading to an average of 53.080 of income per year on the lower end. 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. The average eu farm is about 128acres and we still produce more than you, due to better innovation

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.
I'm sorry but everyone needs to pay their fair share and the threshold is quite high. Jeremy Clarkson is not someone to listen to as he bought a farm so he doesn't need to pay tax. The farmer next door to me has a herd of cattle but fields of solar panels and glamping pods. Not much food is produced.
You have a farmer living next door?
A lot of farmers are just Tories with muddy boots. The difference between them and the landed gentry is giving their money to a farm manager instead of an investment banker. I shed no tears for their taxable income. The fact that they've chosen Jeremy Clarkson as a figurehead says it all. I grew up in a tiny village surrounded by farmers, I never met one who had anything in common with the rest of us who just worked in shops or tried to learn trades. They're stuck up and in their own world.

He puts a lot of the farm's income into the farm. And we don't have a capital gains tax (effectively), nor an estate tax. He just bought a new Ford Falcon.
Just as an aside from that shouty guy - Rapeseed (aka canola) Oil is insanely bad for you as a cooking oil/food additive.

The oldest trick in the book as a farmer is attributing every living expense all year long to business expenses, then spending all of your "Profit" at the end of the year on "Capital improvements", and then claim you are in the poor house to anyone who does or doesn't ask and most especially the government tax man.
Get James out there.
He knows everything about farming 🤣
You just inherit something. It's not the tax payer that has to make that work. It's your responsibility. If you don't want to make it work then sell it to someone who can succeed and then offer that to their ancestors.. 🤷♂
Clarkson's presence probably not helping the farmers' contrived appeal for public sympathy.
He is famous for not being a poor bloke and has said things that clearly demonstrate that he is a wealthy man.
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.
Farmers may get some headway in the public psyche if they keep parroting the line about them being "producers of food", "and food prices will go up". A simplistic message like that tends to work with the masses. Remember Brexit.
We are supposed to guarantee the security of the food supply! You can do this by either guaranteeing the small farmers their land or turning it over to big, commercial firms!
The British need to decide one way or the other!!
@StevenHolmes-s3e. What about the retailers and part they play in the choice and availability of food ?
@
Again, it’s about the food security!
If there is a war or tariffs then the retailers won’t be involved with the choice! They will try to sell any food they can get their hands on! That will drive up the prices which will then be passed down to the consumers!

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.
Which is why you sell some of the asset to pay the taxes. Were you not paying attention?
@@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.
Concerning the band aid song, I've always had a problem with the line "the greatest gift they'll get this year is life" implying that this is true for all Africans.

Part of it is about protecting what they see as "a way of life". Think of all those coal miners in the US being against getting rid of coal. Who in their right mind would like to work in a mine? For them it has been a way of like for generations. So, even though economics surely play a role, especially for the more wealthy, i think it boils down to culture and fear of change

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.

What happens when farmland gets sold off to pay for the tax? Urbanisation of our countryside, solar panels farms and a reduction in our abilty to produce food.
3mil min application threshold
The avg farm in the uk is 442 acres at 10.00 per acre is 4.420.000mil, of which taxeable is 1.420.000mil at 20% to be paid over 10 years.
Thats 28.800 per year for 10 years leading to an inheritance tax of an average of 288.000£.
Each acre generates on average 120£ per year worth of goods, leading to an average of 53.080 of income per year on the lower end.
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.
The average eu farm is about 128acres and we still produce more than you, due to better innovation
