Reforms to Business Reliefs: Application to Trusts

These changes will have an impact on the inheritance tax payable by certain trusts comprising of property that qualifies for agricultural property relief or business property relief where the value of that property exceeds £1 million. The government is consulting on this aspect to ensure the rules work as intended.

Interested parties should be aware that the consultation ends on 23 April 2025!
