Historically Rawlinsons has had a long connection with the Agri Economy in the Greater Peterborough and Eastern region.

Over many years Rawlinsons has worked with farmers, land owners, agricultural and food-based businesses across the region, supporting them with a range of diversification projects, investment opportunities and tax efficient land sale planning.

In recent times Rawlinsons has been actively involved in implementing new business structures to ensure tax efficiency and to assist with the particular succession issues that are faced by its farming client base.

Financing, cash flow and budgeting have never been so important as in the current economy and, with agriculture being affected more and more by non-UK commodity markets and currency issues, we aim to provide extensive support to farming businesses to improve profitability and to provide an objective view of the whole business.

Our experienced team can provide answers to most agricultural related tax enquiries together with more detailed IHT planning and will drafting and have an extensive knowledge of Agricultural and Business Property Relief issues (APR & BPR). As members of CharterGroup and the ICAEW Farm Business Faculty we have access to national specialists, if required, together with extensive benchmarking data, technical material and discussion forums to provide up-to-date views on current tends in the agri business sector.

Capital taxation particularly affects the agricultural sector and we can offer assistance in planning to ensure Entrepreneurs’ Relief is available on land disposals or the particular tax problems that arise on the disposal of mineral rights, areas in which we have been practically involved.

We have long standing relationships with many of the professional advisers in the agricultural field, from bankers to land agents, and would welcome the opportunity to work with you or with your existing advisers on new or ongoing projects.
