Young Farmers’ Clubs are being asked to vote on a motion about inheritance tax at NFYFC’s 93rd Annual Meeting of Clubs (AMC) in April.
The motion, which is being proposed by Luke Cox from Wiltshire, asks YFCs to debate the proposed changes to inheritance tax and the impact it will have on the next generation.
The motion states:
“This house believes that the proposed changes to Inheritance Tax will have a detrimental impact on the next generation of farmers, and threaten the security of family farms.”
Inheritance tax proposals have been a significant discussion topic in the YFC AGRI group since the announcement and, as the retiring Chair, Luke is bringing the motion to the AMC.
If the motion is passed, it is hoped this will demonstrate the ongoing support of YFCs for farming families during challenging times for the industry.
Each YFC is entitled to two votes, one for the Club Chair and one for the Secretary, while each county federation is entitled to one vote – the County Chair or another nominated member of the county. Each member of NFYFC’s Council is also entitled to one vote.
Votes can be cast online and all clubs, counties and Council will receive voting details in advance of the meeting.
Votes will also be cast for the election of the President and Deputy Presidents. A motion has also been submitted from NFYFC Council to increase the subscription fee to NFYFC to £37.50 per member in September 2026.
The AMC takes place at The Assembly Rooms in Leamington Spa on 13 April at 10.30am. The final agenda is available here.
