Prime Minister urged to reverse IHT changes at Autumn Budget

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has been urged to reverse changes to Inheritance Tax (IHT) at the upcoming Autumn Budget.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has been urged to reverse changes to Inheritance Tax (IHT) at the upcoming Autumn Budget.

Farmers from around the UK have called on Mr Burnham to honour his pre-election pledge to 'look again' at the changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) and Business Property Relief (BPR).

Prior to the Makerfield by-election, Mr Burnham acknowledged worries regarding IHT changes and pledged to revisit the matter if he became Prime Minister.

From 6 April 2026, the government implemented a £2.5 million cap per person on 100% relief for APR and BPR. Originally, the reforms were proposed with a £1 million threshold, but this was increased to £2.5 million following pressure from the farming community and business groups.

The Ulster Farmers' Union (UFU) stated that the government 'has more work to do' to rebuild trust with the farming community.
