That shows overall there was no significant differences between farmers and the general population?

It WILL affect the family farms.
This move will destroy family farming.

And the treasury got it wrong, so are pushing those claims to try and justify the damage they will cause.
You clearly don't understand the economics of agriculture or the implications of these proposals.
So farming makes almost no money, even on a lot of land. And when big companies artificially drive up land prices, a farm is suddenly "worth" a lot of money on paper and yet the farmer makes minimum wage for long hours on it.
And gifting is very difficult to to do with farming.
If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
This bunch of uberrich cosplaying fops are no more 'farmers' than owners of F1 Teams are 'road commuters' ...
Because these proposals are a major threat to british agriculture
My figures were generated by an independent tax expert, Fan Neidle.
You realise that farmers are being lied to by the super rich (again)? And falling for it (again)!🙄
There are.
I have sourced that from many of being involved with farming and farming policy
neidle knows nothing about farming
I know that the government is lying to them.
Even DEFRA told the treasury that, and the treasury ignored them
Can I ask if you have worked in or with agriculture in any way?
So, you'll need to be a bit more specific as to why paying an inheritance tax will 'destroy British agriculture'.
Explain HOW the IHT is to be paid then.
With reference to both averaged and worse case returns
“To be shot”
To the few real farmers who maybe affected apologies, but Dyson, Clarkson,Lloyd Webber and the tax avoiders in the aristocracy
Pay your tax you’ve been in a gravy train for years
That is government propaganda to try to justify their disastrous policy
I assume that's if you put it into a company trust? So there are ways around it for actual real farmers as opposed to pure landowners.
She is trying to justify the bad decision they have made.
Farmers are NOT rich.

But they will put thousands of family farms out of business.
I'm withholding judgement until the facts are known because I suspect it is the incredibly wealthy muddying the water for their own end.
What the treasury have done is say that "it could be up to £3m" and hope people don't notice...
So for the vast majority it will be £1m

And treasury assumptions. Which are wrong too.
Their fact checking in this case was ask the treasury whether what the treasury said was correct.
No neither do I.
