Question
What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the impact of the UK Government's planned 20 per cent inheritance tax on combined business and agricultural assets, and how will they be mitigated?
Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Inheritance tax is a reserved tax, overseen by the UK Government.
HMT figures suggest that most farms will be unaffected by the changes announced by the UK Government.
