Succession planning
Recent budget changes are the first significant legislative changes for Inheritance Tax for farmers and landowners for thirty years.
Many farmers and landowners are considering passing all or part of the farm down to the next generation, selling up or developing another path to retirement.
Following changes to available tax reliefs it is more important than ever, to receive professional tax advice to inform your decisions as how best to proceed.
We can proactively advise on Inheritance reliefs (Agricultural Property Relief and Business Property Relief), the use of Trusts and the Capital Gains pitfalls to ensure there are no unintended tax liabilities.
As well as minimising the effects of the new Inheritance Tax legislation a successful succession plan enables farming families to develop and progress their farming businesses for future generations.
Diversification
Many of our clients are expanding their offerings; selling direct via a farm shop, offering experiences, investing in renewable energy and starting holiday letting companies.
Should you be thinking of diversifying or perhaps you have already, our team can anticipate many of the challenges you will face when running multiple trades. We can assess the wider tax implications, ensuring you stay compliant with HMRC and help you plan for the future.
Equine
Running a stud farm, riding school or horse trainer? These businesses combine a commercial enterprise with agricultural elements. The Sheen Stickland team can draw on personal experience and professional qualifications to ensure no opportunities are missed.
Often equine businesses run into challenges with shared ownership or partnership matters, VAT queries and Argicultural property relief.
