  • Sir James Dyson has accused Labour of being spiteful because it has taken away the inheritance tax reliefs worth a small fortune that he had hoped to enjoy by buying large acreages of farmland in the East of England. He’s completely wrong about that. But Labour is spiteful, nonetheless. He just identified the wrong target for their spite.

    I agree that Dyson was a poor choice to be championing the cause of farmers, since he was exactly the sort of person that Labour was hoping that the envious public would have in mind when the issue was discussed, however he is not typical of most farmers. Most farmers work really hard and get a very poor return on their land assets, their investment in machinery and hours worked. For most the only reason that they are able to make a living is that they don't have to pay rent and have sufficient land to make a living from it. Many young people already don't want to follow their parents into farming, how many more will not want to if they have to struggle to make a living with less land or rental costs? It doesn't take very many acres at 15 to 20k an acre to reach £1,000,000 and you still have to include the farm house, buildings and machinery.
    Those people who think that this is a great idea should ask themselves "who will end up owning the land"? Do you really think that someone like Bill Gates (the largest owner of farmland in the US, I believe) will be buying the land in order to sell food cheaply to the masses? Or is it more likely that very rich capitalists like him will a) use their monopoly to drive prices up, b) set aside the land and rake in huge amounts of government subsidies for doing nothing, c) rent the land to genuine farmers and cream off the profits of their labour (sounds like serfdom to me) or d) all of the above?
    People have become so disconnected from the important things in life and so used to food being available in the supermarkets that they can't see the effect that this will have on their food supply, after all farmers are already being encouraged by government, through subsidies, not to produce food. Perhaps future historians will consider those that froze to death fortunate compared to those that suffered the degradations of famine.

      ‘Envious’ is a lazy characterisation, Frank. You should do better to understand the factors that motivate the average person to get behind policies like this. I have no sympathy for farmers - they fucked themselves and the rest of us with their stupidity around Brexit, so they’re not infallible or immune to propaganda either.
      If people like Dyson and Clarkson weren’t exploiting tax loopholes, farmers wouldn’t have become a target. Direct your ire at them, not the average person struggling with their bills and disproportionate tax burden because of dodgers.

Incidentally, I'm not 'bought into' anything, which is one reason why I watch this channel when I disagree with much of Richard's ideology and many of his conclusions. I am always learning and I am always open to a convincing argument, which is why many of my opinions have changed or evolved over the years.

    Surely farms are like all other business. There is a vast difference between small or relatively small farms and the mega industrial sized farms we now have . Labour should have targeted the latter. A great number of small farms are producing organic crops and raw dairy which is a valuable and healthy alternative to mass produced processed food . Most people can’t afford these products but they never will if we penalise small/medium farms out of existence rather than encourage them.

    • @digitaurus
      @digitaurus День назад

      The main difference of family farms to other businesses is reflected in Richard Murphy's talk. Unlike nearly all other businesses, traditionally, farmers do seek to pass the farm down to the next generation in their family. Murphy doesn't really acknowledge that fact in this video. The imposition of (reduced) inheritance tax will change that equation significantly. Labour has argued that few traditional family farms will be affected and gave an analysis of recent historical data to support that contention. This may be correct: so far, we have had to take the government's word on this. It's unclear to me what the impact of these changes will be on industry structure. I fear the law of unintended consequences.

    You're leaving out some very important context to your points about taxing the wealthy; on a national level, the UK has no need to tax the wealthy to pay for social programs. I'm pretty sure you already know this. The UK national govt (UKNG) has full monetary sovereignty and can simply create whatever money is needed to cover needed social programs. And there are established ways to avoid inflation risks. The UKNG does not need money from the wealthy, it needs to reclaim power from the wealthy. Currently very wealthy elites have a lot of power over UKNG policies and laws; that's the primary reason why working class people are dying and suffering due to austerity. When you leave out this key context, you dilute and diminish the impact and relevance of your messaging.

      A viable small farm would be around 445 acres. Average good not poor arable land is say £10K so a mere 100 acres is £1 million not including any land rovers or tractors or actual machinery or farm buildings or house, or live stock if any. And once tied to land there’s no going off on holidays abroad when you feel like it. It’s 24/7 yes 24/7 making the most of daylight. So a small viable farm is around the £5 mill mark plus costs of machinery, 4x4 vehicles, specialist equipment and buildings and then a house on site.
      This is not an industrial scale East Anglia satellite controlled banks of harvesters etc its a small awkward farm with awkward shapes, and bits and pieces to be nurtured.

    The issue with farm inheritance tax is that the value of the asset (which farmers have no control over) is so massively greater than the potential value of the output (which farmers also have no comtrol over) As such there is simply no way of paying inheritance tax on a farm over the 10 year period by farming the land. Even a small farm of 100 acres is over a million. Wheras it may only generate about £10k in profits in a good year. By all means break up large land holdings but this affects a whole generation of future farmers who need the family farm as a base. Dyson by the way has his on farming business beeswax farming like most new large landowners he's not providing opportunities to the tenant sector.

    Have you ever run a small business? I think we can tell the answer. While I agree Dyson was not a good advocate for the particular tax the truth for a lot of farmers this is a major issue. This does interestingly hit on a major point that people like yourself always fail to understand is that the motivation of small business people is for self determination and to provide for their family and the community. The spite of this government and the ignorance of your own position comes from collectivism we’re everyone and therefore no one is responsible or cares for the individual.

    There is a strong case to be made for a winfall tax charge (basicallty a version of CGT) on farmers obtaining planning permission to build non-farming property - basically converting farmland to land for residential development. In my rural part of the UK, this occurs on a massive scale whereby overnight the market value of land rises from £8k - £10k per acre to around £600k for the same acre of land with planning permission. If anyone wonders why farmers are often parish and district councillors in rural areas...I am pretty sure there is no motivation other than the desire to perform a public service.

      A land value tax would not really work for a one-off windfall and would have to be very carefully designed so that it does not drive small farms out of business whilst the land is being used for agriculture i.e. small farms would have to be excluded in my view.

      The "windfall " is the capitalisation of the increase in rental value. If all the increase in rental value is taxed away, there is no windfall.
      The real value of land is its annual rental value. The price of land is derived from the annual rental value. It is, roughly 20 times.

      @@physiocrat7143 Firstly, the acts that you reference do not relate to charges for change of land use as such. What you describe as "windfall" is not a windfall at all - just land rental value. Windfall by its very definiition has to be a sudden change event which leads to a significant capital gain over a short time period. Taxing windfall resulting from change of land use from agriculture to some other use e.g. development at the same rate as personal income tax would be the most fair and sensible option. This would not wipe out the windfall as we do not have a 100% tax rate band. The problem with a universal land value tax is that it would severly impact small (say under 200 acre) "family farms" and potentially drive them out of farming.

    I think maybe we need a video about farming. What I mean: I am not able to assess whether 1million£ is a large or a small farm because I know nothing about farming: working as a farmhand when I was a student only brought home the hard work required o a farm. Reading the comments below evidenced the same lack of understanding for most posters. We need figures and analysis.
    And once we have this, I am curious to know if Rachel Reeves has set the inheritance tax at a realistic level, or if there is a chance of small farms being impacted.

      My view is that it is wrong, because we are taxed throughout our life. If we earn money, we pay tax (Income tax), if we spend money, we pay tax (VAT, Insurance Premium Tax, Passenger Air Duty, Fuel Duty, etc), if we save money, we are taxed on the interest (Income Tax), if we buy more than one house we pay tax (Stamp Duty Land Tax), if we invest prudently and are lucky enough to make a gain, we pay tax (Capital Gains Tax). At the end of our life, what we have managed to accumulate in spite of the tax system, should be ours to do with as we please. It is my view that the state should have no call on it.

  • @davedee923
    @davedee923 2 дня назад +3

    As far as Dyson is concerned I agree. However, in much the same way that the winter fuel allowance left many OAPs who are just over the threshold to benefit, Labour have failed to recognise that working farmers should be an exception rather than the rule. This is for two reasons. First, £1m goes nowhere for a working farm: just like the fuel allowance, it is set at the wrong level. Second, Labour has lost sight of the reason for protecting farmers' inheritances, which is the need to protext and preserve the country's ability to feed itself without recourse to imports, es[ecially for necessities. Ideally, imports should be where we get our luxury foods from, not the staples (bananas excepted). I must disagree about the point of working until you drop: that is inherent in the entrepreneur mindset. In possibly the majority of cases the transfer of ownership will come many years before death, maybe arount the 60-70 year mark, but the former owner will continue to work. It might be useful to tag along with Liz Webster's channel for a while to see how things really work in the farming sector.

    Inheritance Tax is nevertheless a bad tax. It has not achieved its aim. It has not prevented the continued concentration of land ownership; most of Central London is still owned by the same half dozen aristocratic families as in 1700.

      A wealth tax is a very bad idea because it falls on the definition of "wealth ".
      The real solution is a regular tax on the annual rental value of land. This works something like the business rates but the valuation is on the site alone. Buildings and improvements are ignored. It is assumed that the land is developed as permitted by planning consents for the site. Land hoarding would be expensive.

His UK farms are in a company so will not be liable for inheritance tax ever. British farmers have not needed to give their property onto the next generation before they die ever in history to avoid inheritance tax, like all other business that have had decades to do so to avoid inheritance tax. It is spite to bring in a tax that doesn’t give farmers seven years to pass on their business to avoid inheritance tax like all other businesses have had for decades.

    Family farms do exist and a number of these will be caught by these changes to inheritance tax. For example, I have in-laws that own and run a family farm; until recently, three generations of the family worked together on it, with the oldest, now in his late eighties, recently retiring from active participation. It's difficult for me to tell what the assessed value of the farm would be, but it is going to be well above £1 million. The family is relatively asset rich and cash poor - but able to support a perfectly reasonable "middle class" life.
    I presume some parts of an estate will need to be sold on the death of a member of the family who owns shares in the business, which will impact somewhat on the family's wealth and possibly on the viability of the family farm as a family-based concern, but I have no idea what the macro effects will be for the agriculture industry as a whole. I would be interested to hear an analysis.
