Farmers planning a mass protest over the Chancellor’s inheritance tax raid protesters could face arrest if they use vehicles to block roads in central London next Tuesday. Thousands are set to invade Westminster over the changes announced by Rachel Reeves in last month’s Budget, which prevent all farms from being passed on without inheritance tax.
From next year, farming assets worth more than £1 million will be liable for 20 per cent inheritance tax, fuelling warnings that many families will be forced to break up their land.
While the Treasury claimed the changes would only affect a small number of farms, analysis by the National Farmers’ Union suggested that three quarters of food produced by British farmers would be hit by the raid.
A protest has been organised to coincide with a mass lobby being held by the NFU, who will meet MPs to make the case for reversing the tax raid.
Police have said they are in discussions with organisers over the protests, but have warned those taking part that they have powers to prevent roads being blocked.
Those powers could include the Highways Act 1980, which makes it an offence for a person, without lawful authority, to wilfully obstruct a highway.
