Farming and Agriculture

This is an area where advice and assistance from professionals with specialisms in the sector is essential.  Our managing director Melinda Atkinson has been acting for and advising the farming fraternity for over 25 years.  This includes poultry and arable farmers and market gardeners as well as farming cooperatives and fisheries.

In more recent years as farming incomes have declined more and more farmers are looking at diversification.  Whether it is renting out disused farm buildings or car boot sales there needs to be careful consideration to the knock-on consequences.  This may involve reconsidering their VAT position or providing a review of the capital gains and inheritance issues that may be affected by changes in their activities.

However our advice does not stop there and if you were to look at our case studies you will see that we have been involved with the successful restructuring of several farming businesses which will protect their wealth for future generations and at the same time reduce any current and future tax burdens.
