Tuesday 12 April 2016: 9.30am - 1.00pm followed by tour

Price: £35 CLA member; £45 non-member

Issues and solutions relating to rural wealth management have become increasingly complex creating a greater demand for joined-up professional advice.

Our Tax Planning and Asset preservation seminar will examine the threats and opportunities as well as giving an overview of what the CLA is doing for its members through the work of the national taxation committee.

Too often assets are lost through lack of appropriate action or inertia and our team of experts will look at opportunities to minimise tax liability, at the global investment market, inheritance and succession issues and at foreign exchange risk management.

The morning will conclude with an update on the fine art and auction markets.

Speakers will include:

Representatives from the CLA and from the supporting firms

The seminar will examine:

The latest ideas on minimising inheritance tax
Planning for succession – what to consider
Agricultural & Property Reliefs – an update
How to hedge the single farm payment
Tax efficient trading structures
Effective management of pensions and investments
Investing in fine art

In the afternoon, following a two course lunch, delegates will have an opportunity to look at the grounds and buildings of Milton Abbey and the School – which last year celebrated its 60th anniversary. The Abbey is the dominant feature of the school buildings. Described by the Bishop of Salisbury as ‘the most beautiful Church in Wessex it often features in the top 100 ecclesiastical buildings in Britain.

Like it or not, landowners are affected by a whole host of rules and regulations. Whether it’s planning, CAP reform, housing legislation or agri-environment schemes, keeping up to date with changes in the rules is a constant challenge. CLA advisers are only a phone call away and our seminars are a good way to get detailed updates on particular topics.

This spring, in association with Savills incorp. Smiths Gore, we are again staging a series of short technical updates at local venues where members can get updates from CLA staff and other professionals on topical issues affecting them. But we also want to hear from you and there will be the opportunity for members to raise and bring to the attention of the CLA regional team other issues they feel are of concern to rural landowners and businesses in their county.

There will be 7 events in this programme. These will be informal events at pubs in places where we are not always able to get to regularly. Hopefully you will be able to get along to one of them. Together with anything particularly topical, we will certainly be covering:

Legislation update for owners of private let housing
Farmland sales and rental market update;
Planning & Permitted Development Rights update;
Basic Payment Scheme and Countryside Stewardship latest;
When to use Farm Business Tenancies, grazing licenses, share and contract farming agreements
