House of Commons division

Budget Resolution No. 50: Inheritance tax (limiting agricultural and business property reliefs etc)

Passed327 ayes · 182 noes

What the vote was about

This division was on a budget resolution to limit inheritance tax reliefs for agricultural and business property. For Cornwall, where many small family farms and rural businesses have relied on these reliefs to pass on land and enterprises without a large tax bill, reducing the relief could mean that farms and businesses have to be sold to pay inheritance tax, threatening the continuity of the county's farming landscape and rural economy.

Why this division is tracked here

This budget measure matters greatly for Cornwall's family farms and rural businesses, where inheritance tax changes could force land sales and disrupt multi-generational agricultural operations.
