Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:00 pm on 27 September 2022.
Thank you. So, I have had issues raised with me around that and it's certainly something we're looking at very closely. In relation to inheritance tax, yes, it was something that we looked at and we're still looking at as part of the design of the scheme. As you know, we're in the second stage of the co-design now. And obviously, inheritance tax is a non-devolved issue, so I've asked officials to work very closely with His Majesty's Revenue and Customs concerning the scheme to make sure there are no unintended consequences, if you like.
As you say, agricultural property, some of it qualifies for agricultural relief, and that's land or pasture that is used to grow crops. So, it's very important, when we're looking at that 10 per cent of trees that we want to see each farm have, to share the load across Wales, that we don't create unintended consequences.
