📢 UK's Autumn Budget 2024: Big Changes on the Horizon
The recent UK budget has introduced pivotal updates with widespread impacts across the real estate and agricultural sectors. Here's a quick breakdown:
Real Estate Tax Changes:From stamp duty adjustments to new regulations for furnished holiday lets, property investors will need to strategize for tax efficiency and compliance. 📈
Inheritance Tax on Agricultural Property: The countryside is reacting strongly to new rules. Properties valued over £1 million will now face a 20% inheritance tax from April 2026—a big shift for family farms and estates. 🚜💼
New Security Law, “Martyn's Law”: The Terrorism Protection of Premises Bill mandates venues to enhance security measures, impacting public spaces and real estate beyond typical health and safety laws. Compliance will be essential for venues with 100+ people. 🛡️🏢
