Team Trump attacks Starmer’s farmer tax
- ACT New Zealand criticized the Green Party's May 14, 2025, 'Green Budget' proposing tax increases on farmers' assets and inheritances.
- They argued these taxes build on past policies that forced family farms to sell land to cover inheritance tax bills.
- Farmers face financial challenges from unpredictable weather and low commodity prices, making asset and inheritance taxes burdensome.
- ACT MP Andrew Hoggard said the 2.5% annual tax over $4 million and 33% inheritance tax over $1 million would threaten farms, warning these cause "a lot less family farms out there."
- They warned surviving families might sell farms due to tax bills, risking rural decline and shifting food production offshore under these policies.
