Save British Farming takes to Whitehall to protest changes to inheritance tax on farms.
The children of farmers in the South East hand delivered letters to Downing Street to protest changes to inheritance tax.
Ollie Vicary, from Edenbridge, Kent, wants to be a farmer like his father and grandfather when he grows up and has said the changes are unfair. Tax due above the cap and a further £325,000 allowance will be set at 20%, which is half of the usual inheritance rate. She said: "They don't have to be a farmer themselves, they might just have a load of cash sat somewhere which is potentially subject to inheritance tax.
He believes the government needs to target the "super-wealthy" who buy up farm land rather than the farmers who work the land."There's a big difference between productive working farm land and people who are snapping up land to pay the tax bill."
