Farmers throughout the UK staged protests today against proposed inheritance tax reforms as part of the National Farmers' Union National Day of Unity. They assembled at venues like Chester Town Hall Square, bringing along tractors and livestock. The reforms by the government entail limiting full inheritance tax relief to the initial £1 million of agricultural property, a move that could potentially affect 25 to 75 percent of farmers, as per various reports. The National Farmers' Union orchestrated the demonstrations to highlight the adverse effects of the inheritance tax alterations on family farms, underscoring the need for public backing. NFU officials submitted a petition containing more than 270,000 signatures to the government, calling for a reassessment of the reforms, which they argue jeopardize the future of family farming in the UK.
