Property Landscape
What about the value of live and dead stock?
Treasury needs to consider BPR effect
The farming world has, quite understandably, been up in arms over the autumn Budget proposals to make far-reaching changes to Inheritance Tax (IHT) rules.
Commentary has predictably concentrated on the planned amendments to Agricultural Property Relief (APR).
However, it is important to appreciate that the £1 million limit detailed in the Government’s initial proposal also includes Business Property Relief (BPR).
When the Treasury worked its figures on APR applications to assess the potential impact of the changes, what it overlooked were all the farming claims for BPR.
Farmland is eligible for APR, but many other farming assets are not, and diversified farm enterprises, such as a farm shop or renewable energy installation, are currently likely to be eligible for BPR.
Traditionally, farm livestock, machinery and equipment do not qualify for APR, but they are business assets that should qualify for BPR under the current regime.
So, these do not appear on statistics for APR, but they are very important reliefs for a working farm.
For example, a reasonablesized dairy farm could have £1m worth of livestock and £500,000 worth of machinery.
Machinery
A poultry unit could have vast sums tied up in housing equipment and machinery; and an arable farm could easily have £1 million or more invested in machinery.
The net result would be that all the reliefs would be used up even before we get to consider any land holdings.
What this means is that the value of farm live and dead stock
will become far more important in future when considering potential IHT liabilities.
Historically, with full BPR available, it may sometimes have been perceived that there was no need for absolute accuracy in the values of live and dead stock.
Probate
Often the figures in the accounts that would be used in a probate application might have been out of date, or written down with depreciation and therefore not representative of real market value.
It will be a brave solicitor, after April 2026, who submits a probate application which includes values for live and dead stock without a formal valuation from an agricultural valuer.
An accurate, current assessment of the value of live and dead stock is likely to become key to all future probate applications and I would point out that members of the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers (CAAV) are uniquely qualified and experienced to give expert advice on the valuation of all farming assets.
