You can trace its history back to probate and succession duties introduced in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to pay for wars.<\/p>\n<p>But inheritance tax itself was brought in by chancellor Nigel Lawson only in 1986. Today, when an estate reaches the threshold, which today is easier to do than ever, its rate stands at 40%. Zero percent would be biblical.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Lawson, and every chancellor since, recognised that agricultural land needed exemption. The reason is that farm land is valued out of all proportion to what anyone can make by actually working it.
