Business Services
Agriculture and Rural Affairs
Our offices are based in areas where farming and the countryside continue to be vital to the local economy and an important part of everyday life.
Anyone running a farm, farm-based business or any other rural venture faces tough commercial realities in today’s highly competitive world. The additional demands of issues including diversification, and the implications of inheritance tax for future generations of your family, create further pressures.
So it pays to have an expert accountancy team you can trust to turn to in dealing with all the general aspects of running a business, such as tax, VAT and employment issues, but also issues specific to farming and rural businesses.
Through many years of service to the agricultural and rural sector, we have developed a wealth of experience in issues including:
- obtaining funding for business expansion, diversification and land purchase
- profit forecasts and cash flows
- succession planning - passing the business on to the next generation
- tenancies
- capital gains tax, including roll over and taper relief, milk quota and development land
- income tax, including capital allowances, averaging, herd basis
- VAT
- use of limited companies, partnerships and trusts
- pension provisions and planning.
The need for accurate and up to date financial information is paramount to enable the right decisions to be made. Our specialist Agriculture and Rural Affairs team have an excellent understanding of the industry and expertise in specialist agricultural accounts packages.
