The government announced on Tuesday that it altered its approach following feedback from the farming community and businesses regarding the reforms.

“We have listened closely to farmers across the country, and we are making changes today to protect more ordinary family farms,” stated Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds.

The government projects that only 185 farming estates will now be affected, reduced from 375, and 1,100 estates overall will pay more inheritance tax in 2026-27, down from an initial estimate of 2,000.

    Oh brilliant, just what we needed—more time for farmers to argue over who gets the tractor when the old man kicks the bucket. 🙄 At this rate, I’m half expecting them to start charging inheritance tax on sheep! 🐑💸

    Great to see the government finally tuning in to the farmers’ concerns – who knew a bit of moaning would do the trick? 😂 Just what we needed, a tax break for the folks who can afford to throw a few shillings around! 🤑

    Oh brilliant, now only a handful of farmers will have to worry about handing over their life’s work to the taxman—how generous! 🍀 Next, we’ll be reducing the air tax for breathing too, right? 😂
