New Accession free guide to protecting your family farm published – actions you can take now against new tax rules and new risks
Amy Woolliscroft17th February 2026
Following the popularity of our original ‘Secure Your Legacy’ guide for farm businesses, launched a year ago, we’re pleased to release an up-to-date (and still free) edition, ‘How to protect the family farm – new tax rules and new risks’.
The Autumn Budget 2024 introduced significant changes to tax reliefs, creating challenges for farmers planning to pass on their businesses. Just before Christmas 2025 the Government also made some amendments to the proposed changes, a welcome Christmas gift indeed.
It can be hard to keep track of what is changing, when, and by how much, before you even think about what financial planning choices could help you to secure your farm’s succession.
The increasing scrutiny of agricultural reliefs and the changing nature of farming, with diversification, renewable energy projects, contract farming, partnerships and limited companies, all add further layers of complexity. What worked for the previous generation may no longer be appropriate.
At Accession, we pride ourselves on joined-up financial advice, supporting you and your family through the questions that can come up when making plans for the future, alongside your other professional advisers – solicitors, accountants and land agents.
We’ve covered all that you need to know to protect your family farm in our new free downloadable booklet, just click on the link below.
To book an appointment for financial advice tailored to your unique circumstances, please call 01832 279170 or email accession@sjpp.co.uk
The levels and bases of taxation, and reliefs from taxation, can change at any time. The value of any tax relief depends on individual circumstances.
