Increasingly those running a farming business need to look closely at opportunities to diversify their revenue streams as the more traditional activities become less sustainable on their own. This title is written for the accountants, tax advisers and others who have these businesses or individuals as their clients. It explores the tax planning opportunities available in different circumstances such as re-use of redundant buildings and planting more woodland. Relevant cases are considered throughout as is the increasing focus of HMRC towards the reliefs available to farmers. The sixth edition covers a number of important new developments: - the Agriculture Bill 2019-20 which has the main aims of reforming UK agriculture policy, replacing the current subsidy system, supporting land-owners and farmers in the transition away from the Common Agricultural Policy and introducing a new Environmental Land Management scheme - the results of the consultation on tenancy reform - New CGT returns from 5 April 2020 (need for a 30-day disclosure) - The new Annual Investment Allowance set at £1 million - Implications from the pressure to plant more trees (and promise of more subsidies) to increase the profitability of woodland - The tax impact of 'rewilding' and 'agroforestry'

Investing to promote agricultural growth and poverty reduction is a central pillar of the World Bank's current rural strategy, 'Reaching the Rural Poor' (2003). This 'Sourcebook' addresses how to implement the rural strategy, by sharing information on investment options and identifying innovative approaches that will aid the design of future lending programs for agriculture. It provides generic good practices and many examples that demonstrate investment in agriculture can provide rewarding and sustainable returns to development efforts. It is divided into eleven self-contained modules. Each module contains three different types of subunits that can also be stand-alone documents: I. Module Overview II. Agricultural Investment Notes III. Innovative Activity Profiles. The stand-alone nature of the subunits allows flexibility and adaptability of the material. Selected readings and web links are also provided for readers who seek more in-depth information. The 'Sourcebook' draws on a wide range of experiences from donor agencies, governments, institutions, and other groups active in agricultural development. It is an invaluable reference tool for policy makers, professionals, academics and students, and anyone with an interest in agricultural investments.
