Farmers Concerned About Tax Legislation If There Is Change Of Government

A Clare based agri-solicitor is highlighting concerns for farmers in agricultural tax legislation if there is a change in Government after the next general election. A recent IFA farm succession meeting heard that significantly more farmers are seeking to finalise their succession and inheritance affairs before the next election. It's feared that changes to the legislation around the taxation of succession and inheritance could have a determental impact on farm finances. Sixmilebridge native Aisling Meehan says there are fears that the uncertainty which already exists for farming businesses could be added to.
