These joint events will take place across our operating areas, combining expertise in land and estate management with insurance know-how to support rural businesses.
We’re also making these evenings as enjoyable as they are informative, offering all attendees a free pie and pea supper to ensure you’re well-fed while gaining valuable knowledge and connecting with others in the agricultural community.
Our roadshows will focus on The Budget and the Effect of it on Farmers & Landowners, addressing pressing topics and offering actionable solutions to the challenges ahead.
Why Now?
We’re hosting these roadshows in response to the recent Budget announcement, which introduces significant changes affecting farmers and landowners, including a £1 million cap on Agricultural Property Relief (APR) and Business Property Relief (BPR) from April 2026. These changes could impact thousands of rural businesses, creating challenges in inheritance tax planning, family succession, and financial stability. Combined with updates to Capital Gains Tax, Stamp Duty Land Tax, and reductions in BPS payments, it’s more important than ever to prepare. Our roadshows are designed to provide you with the insights and strategies you need to navigate this shifting landscape effectively.
Agenda Highlights:
- Inheritance Tax - Understand how the latest budget measures could influence estate planning and discover strategies to secure your assets for future generations.
- Stamp Duty Land Tax - Explore the implications of Stamp Duty Land Tax changes on property transactions and land management.
- Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) & Reduced Payments - Learn about the gradual reduction in BPS payments and the alternative government schemes available to support farmers and landowners. Our experts will outline strategies to navigate these changes effectively.
To provide a holistic view, H&H Insurance Brokers will share insights into managing risk through tailored insurance solutions, ensuring your business remains secure in uncertain times.
