Next up in our webinar series, we hear from some key players in the industry who will be sharing their knowledge and advice about Inheritance Tax (IHT) and how to plan for the future.
The Chancellor's proposed changes to IHT loom large over the farming industry whether you own your farm or it is tenanted. This webinar focuses on how to navigate the IHT fallout under current proposals and looks to give advice on how to plan your farm's succession to ensure it is in the best position going forward. An expert panel – including Jeremy Moody, secretary and adviser to the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers, who has been at the forefront of challenging the Government's figures around the implications of its IHT proposals on the industry – will be on hand to answer your questions.

Caroline Squire
Caroline Squire is a rural surveyor adviser at the Tenant Farmers Association (TFA). Caroline is a qualified chartered surveyor and agricultural valuer, and a tenant farmer's daughter.
The TFA's main concern with the IHT changes is that estates will be forced to sell farms to foot the IHT bill, and that means tenant farmers on short-term tenancy agreements are extremely vulnerable to receiving notices to quit so that their farms can be sold with vacant possession.

Liaises with governments on the new policies developing across the UK, handling such issues as agricultural tenancy and land occupation, taxation, valuation, planning, climate change and environmental matters, writing widely on both policy and practice. Currently heavily involved in analysis of the effects of the October Budget's Inheritance Proposals across the UK, publishing assessments and giving evidence to Parliament.
