Agriculture

Agricultural work forms the backbone of the economy. The long hours, costs, and ever-changing economic landscape can make it challenging to keep up.

That’s why we aim to support local farms and agricultural businesses by managing all their tax needs and identifying ways to reduce their tax bills while maintaining healthy profits. We have extensive experience working with farming businesses, agricultural specialists, and rural enterprises, providing sector-specific support tailored to their unique challenges.

Moreover, we are well-versed in business advice and can help you explore various allowances, grants, and funding opportunities you may be eligible for. We offer tailored advice and specialist knowledge to address the distinct needs of farmers, landowners, estates accountants, and rural businesses, ensuring you receive the most relevant and effective solutions.

How we help

Given the unpredictable nature of agricultural work, having a proactive, dedicated rural team behind you provides a vital safety net. Cash flow management and tax compliance are essential for farming accountants due to fluctuating income streams and sector-specific risks.

If you’re looking to expand your agricultural business, we can advise on land-related tax obligations and help you navigate significant changes in legislation. Succession planning, inheritance tax planning, tax advice, and property transactions all require careful consideration to protect future generations and minimise tax liabilities such as inheritance tax, capital gains tax, and stamp duty land tax.

With VAT now managed through digital online processes, we’ll guide you through Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements, ensuring your accounting systems comply with HMRC regulations. Our dedicated team supports sole traders and farming businesses with annual accounts, tax returns, and ongoing tax compliance.

We work closely alongside land agents and other professionals to provide comprehensive advisory services, specialist advice, and support for business and tax matters. This includes guidance on business structures, capital tax planning, agricultural property relief, business property relief, and keeping you informed about draft legislation affecting the agriculture sector.
