Petition

Scrap Inheritance Tax for working family farms.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like to get rid of inheritance tax for working family farms that have been passed down generations as it massively affects our area, Lincolnshire. This inheritance tax creates a severe disadvantage for family farms who provide food for our country and money for our economy.
The new inheritance tax will affect 70,000 farms across the country. Including 3479 in Lincolnshire (Defra June Survey of Agriculture)
