Rural Business Update Seminar – Harrogate

Rural Business Update Seminar 2025

Monday 17 March 2025 | 8:30am – 11:30am | Pavilions of Harrogate, Railway Road, Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate HG2 8NZ

The rural economy is facing enormous challenges. Changes announced in the UK’s 2024 Autumn Budget which removed the valuable 100% Agricultural Property Relief (APR) and Business Property Relief, potentially threaten the breakup of farms and estates and the sale of land to pay future tax bills.

Family-owned businesses need to completely review their succession planning and, in many cases, start again.

We hope you can attend our Rural Business Update Seminar to learn more about the new succession strategies for land and rural businesses and understand the tax challenges impacting the sector. We’ll cover:

  • The impact of inheritance tax reforms and how the new £1 million limit on APR and BPR could affect your rural business or estate – and a discussion of strategies to alleviate as many of the concerns as possible,
  • Valuable insights from our Succession Survey Report 2024 on the concerns and challenges faced by rural estate owners, and
  • How to facilitate a smooth and tax-efficient business succession.

Why you should attend

If you’re an adviser to land-based businesses, our update will equip you with the knowledge you need to have meaningful conversations with your clients and gain a better understanding of the new business pressures they face.

For those working in the rural economy, it’s vital to understand how the recent tax changes will impact your business and family. Join us to learn how to protect your legacy and minimise tax liabilities through effective succession planning.
