The thing to remember: don't look at Budgets in isolation.
Taxes have been rising since 2021. The extra tax we're paying this year is the *cumulative* result of five successive Budgets, under three Chancellors.
This chart shows who's responsible & for how much.

🚨 WHAT IF THERE WERE A SHORTFALL OF 30 MILLION METRIC TONS OF MILK IN GLOBAL TRADE BY 2030?
Piercristiano Brazzale warns about the future of the sector and the key #investments needed to compete.

I’m with @DanNeidle on this. If you own a £20 million business or farm, why not sell it the week before you die and buy an expensive house in Belgravia? All of a sudden no IHT.
If @andyburnham and @JohnHealey_MP are thinking of reversing the APR / BPR changes as reported, is it time to scrap #IHT but remove CGT rebasing on death? Whoever sells the assets pays the #tax.
Discussion today about extending Annual Investment Allowance to agricultural buildings., as requested by @NFUtweets Much of the allowance goes on imported machinery, would @hmtreasury get more bang for its buck if the money was spent on U.K. built infrastructure?
Hi @AvantiWestCoast You’ve cancelled my 6.47 train from Carlisle. Can I get the 7.03 or the 7.46, the latter of which gets in earlier?
A lesson for @andyburnham along with cliff edges. How many people restrict income to avoid punitive #tax rates and clawback of child benefit or free childcare? Collecting less tax?
With all the hints about tax changes coming from #Burnham supporters do you think they’ve dusted off this old report about inheritance tax? step.org/system/files/media/…
I suspect a lot of farming R&D claims would fail if looked at like this? Lack of evidence costs R&D claimant almost £500k | AccountingWEB accountingweb.co.uk/tax/hmrc…
Well said, if farming wants to attract young tech savvy staff it needs to sell itself better. OPINION: Let's start promoting the industry we have today, not a vision from the past farmersguardian.com/4529190/ via @farmersguardian

New safety drive highlights risks facing older farmers - Farmers Weekly fwi.co.uk/business/business-…
So three speakers into #semexconf26 and trade a major topic. U.K. trade deals are increasing market access for #dairy to the U.K. with little in return.
Great result but a lot of heartache, stress and expense incurred many many old people.
Following the government's announcement today raising the thresholds for APR/BPR, NFU President Tom Bradshaw (@ProagriLtd) thanks the Labour and opposition MPs who have voiced the concerns of their farming constituents and lobbied for changes to APR/BPR proposals.
The budget didn’t deliver a cancellation of the IHT reform, but did make the £1m band transferable ✔️ Will surviving spouses get to use a deceased spouses band like RNRB ? Still waiting for the small print. Hopefully some relief for the elderly through this measure.
What do farmers want from tomorrow’s #Budget2025 ?
50%IHT changes scrapped
33%IHT relief for elderly
12%10% allowance for sheds
4%150% allowance for slurry
