Reforms to IHT reliefs: consultation on property settled into trust

HMRC has launched a consultation on the proposed reforms to agricultural property relief and business property relief from 6 April 2026, focusing specifically on their application in relation to trusts.

HMRC is seeking views on the application of a £1 million allowance for property settled into trust that qualifies for 100% agricultural property relief or business property relief. The changes are set to take effect from 6 April 2026, with transitional provisions for transfers made before this date. The consultation also addresses the introduction of an anti-fragmentation rule to prevent the division of property into multiple trusts to avoid tax liabilities. The consultation closes on 23 April 2025.
