Debate

Rural Businesses: Taxation

Contribution

My Lords, there is some speculation in the press that farmland might be included in the calculation of the value of a home when it comes to the mansion tax. Perhaps the Minister could confirm whether or not that is true because, clearly, if it is, an awful lot of modest farmhouses would then be included in the mansion tax, and that tax at the highest rate is quite a lot for a farm.
