Land Family Business is a firm of specialist accountants and tax advisers working with farming families, estates, and rural businesses across the UK. We provide strategic accounting, tax planning, and structuring advice to support profitability, succession, and long-term wealth preservation.
“We sponsor Environmental Farmers Group because it connects progressive farmers who are actively engaging with the financial and environmental challenges facing the sector. This aligns closely with our work advising clients on how to structure their businesses tax-efficiently while adapting to new income streams and opportunities.”
At Land Family Business, we act as accountants and tax advisers to farming families and rural businesses, supporting them in managing both the day-to-day financial position of their business and the longer-term strategic challenges they face.
The agricultural sector is undergoing significant change, with increasing diversification of income through environmental schemes, natural capital, and alternative land uses. While these opportunities can provide valuable additional revenue streams, they also introduce complex tax and accounting considerations. Ensuring that income is correctly structured, reported, and aligned with the wider business is critical to achieving the intended financial outcomes.
Our work often focuses on structuring farming businesses in a tax-efficient manner, including the use of partnerships, companies, and trusts where appropriate. We advise on Income Tax, Corporation Tax, Capital Gains Tax, andInheritance Tax, with particular emphasis on preserving reliefs such as Agricultural Property Relief (APR) and BusinessProperty Relief (BPR). These areas are fundamental when considering both current profitability and long-term succession planning.
Succession remains a key area of focus for many of our clients. We work with families to ensure that ownership and control can pass between generations in a way that is both tax-efficient and commercially practical. This includes reviewing existing structures, planning for future changes, and ensuring that the business is resilient to both legislative and familydevelopments.
As environmental markets develop, including areas such as soil carbon and biodiversity, it is increasingly important to understand the tax treatment of these income streams and how they interact with existing farming activities. Without careful planning, there is a risk of unintended tax consequences or the loss of valuable reliefs. Our role is to help clients navigate these complexities and integrate new opportunities into their overall business strategy.
Our involvement with Environmental Farmers Group reflects our commitment to supporting a sector that is evolving rapidly. By working alongside farmers who are exploring new approaches, we are better placed to provide informed, practical advice that reflects the realities on the ground.
Ultimately, our aim is to ensure that our clients’ businesses are not only compliant, but structured in a way that maximises tax efficiency, supports succession, and underpins long-term financial sustainability.
