One Lincolnshire farmer described the planned inheritance tax as a 'complete bombshell'.
A Lincolnshire farmer attending a protest march in London against the government's planned changes to inheritance tax said the proposal came as a "complete bombshell".
He said he has sleepless nights as he faces a tax bill of up to £700,000 when his elderly parents pass away. He added: "There was a lot of announcements made in the budget that affected us, but this one, by far, overshadows the lot." "We know the horrendous pressure it is putting on the older generation of farmers who have given everything to providing food for this country," he said.
