      Agree or disagree with the policy change, but the money from inheritance tax doesn’t go to the politicians, it goes to the treasury to either pay off national debt or goes on public spending.

      The only farmers whose inheritors will pay this are multi-millionaires. They then pay half the rate other taxpayers will need to pay and have 10 years to pay it.

      The common story of the famous Boston Tea Party isn't quite right: The protest wasn't triggered by a new tax as such, but by a tax exemption that only applied the to the politically well-connected East India Company. People were already annoyed at the tea tax, but when they heard that they would be expected to pay it while the EIC - a company which many MPs owned shares in - was granted tax-free operation the anger erupted to a full blown riot at this blatantly unfair double standard.

      It's true, but it's not exactly government's fault. It's just that farming in the UK isn't really economical any more. Labor costs are relatively expensive, in global terms. Land prices are hugely high, compared to most of the world. There are strict environmental, safety and animal welfare laws. And the climate is famously unpredictable, making harvests inconsistent. It's actually cheaper to import many foods from elsewhere in the world - where farms can be huge and so benefit from a greater economy of scale, and where agricultural laborers earn a few pounds a day. The UK supports farming with a number of tax incentives - they pay no fuel tax - and outright subsidies in the form of grants. Until recently, the inheritance tax exemption was one of those incentives. But it's still not enough. The farmer interviewed in the video says that importing food is more expensive, but he is just wrong: Modern shipping makes importing dirt cheap. The same super-cheap shipping that lets you buy cheap tat on Temu can just as easily carry a refrigerated container full of meat, fruit and veg, and bulk cargo is even cheaper.

    Nobody should pay inheritance tax, especially the farmers who can't just sell a bit to raise cash. It's a death tax on things you've already paid tax on to buy, so effectively taxed twice. Move abroad now if you can before things get much worse.

    • @vylbird8014
      @vylbird8014 2 часа назад

      All taxes are, because money goes around and around. You pay income tax, then you pay VAT at the store, the store pays corporation tax*, the store pays their employees who also pay income tax, who then shop somewhere else and pay VAT... and around and around and around it goes. With each transaction there is a chance for the government to tax a little, and they in turn use that money to pay their employees or pay suppliers and contractors.
      *Well, no, because the store probably makes all their profits in a small office in Jersey for tax reasons, but you get the idea.

  • @MaybeLater82
    @MaybeLater82 20 минут назад

    ...their business model is the issue. They sell in bulk to supermarkets, who enjoy huge economies of scale...which by definition means farmers don't make as much money. Farmers were wealthier when they sold to independent grocers, but they had higher costs due to needing more staff but saw an opportunity to make money quicker and took it. The whole food chain is in a mess, they supported brexit making things much worse for themselves. Farmers are protesting all over Europe but here it's made worse due to our weaker trading position...the business model is the problem. Protesting won't help and neither will taxing them....having said that, it affects 4% of them....which ironically is the exact percentage that's dropped off our GDP courtesy of brexit. At least Farage is behind them...oh wait, he wants to boycott them....

    You can tell which site reporters take by the way they describe the change to the law. Those supporting the farmers describe it as a new tax on farmers, while those supporting the government describe it as eliminating a tax exemption that applies to agricultural land. Legally it's the latter, but economically it doesn't make much difference.
