英国2026年计划对超过1亿英镑的农场征收50%的税,引发农民抗议。 UK sticks with 2026 plan to tax farm estates over £1M at 50%, sparking farmer protests.

英国政府已确认不会改变雷切尔·里夫斯总理将农业财产减免额定为100万英镑用于遗产税的计划, The UK government has confirmed it will not alter Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ plan to cap agricultural property relief at £1 million for inheritance tax, with amounts above that taxed at 50% starting April 2026. 尽管农业团体普遍反对,并提议采用替代模式,包括在保护中小农场的同时可筹集10亿英镑的模式,但财政部维持其立场。 Despite widespread opposition from farming groups and proposals for alternative models, including one that could raise £1 billion while protecting small and medium farms, the Treasury maintains its position. 农民警告这一改变可能迫使家庭业务出售资产以支付税单,威胁粮食安全和农村生计。 Farmers warn the change could force family operations to sell assets to cover tax bills, threatening food security and rural livelihoods. 作为回应,计划于11月24日举行全国范围的“团结日”抗议, In response, a nationwide "day of unity" protest is planned for November 24, featuring tractor demonstrations across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
