Free event for NFU members in Devon
The NFU in association with Foot Anstey solicitors and Francis Clark accountants are holding three seminars around Devon to help provide NFU members with guidance and support on how best to avoid potential pitfalls that exist in running your farming business.
This is a great opportunity for NFU members to gain a competitive advantage, interrogate the experts…. and get a free meal thrown in! The following topics will be covered:
- How to pass a BPS inspection – NFU
- Avoiding pitfalls when renting land– Foot Anstey
- How to get the best out of your accountant – Francis Clark
Andrew Butler, NFU Devon County Adviser urges farmers to take a little time to plan ahead of those dreaded inspections, “inspections are always a worry, but with a little planning and organisation, penalties and non-compliances can be avoided.”
Joel Woolf, Partner and Head of Agriculture at Foot Anstey argues that “renting land in itself is not difficult but it can have unforeseen consequences for the unwary. Don’t get caught out by getting it wrong!”
Andrew Squires, Partner at Francis Clark Chartered Accountants adds, “Farmers are currently in a challenging period, with low prices across most of the agricultural sector. But it is as important as ever to maintain focus on the family and business, and on how to protect them from the taxman.” Tax legislation has expanded dramatically over the years and continues to in every Budget. We can help clients identify the changes which affect them, so new pitfalls are avoided.”
