Agriculture

Hawsons has a dedicated team of specialist agriculture

accountants in Sheffield, Doncaster and Northampton.
We know that farming isn’t just a business; it’s a way of life.

The rural and agriculture sector is a specialist sector, with unique practices and
conventions, and we act for a significant number of arable farms and assist farming
families in many matters specific to the sector including will planning, succession
planning and dealing with the complex tax issues surrounding inheritance.

We have been able to assist our farming clients in adding value to their businesses
including advising on the financial and taxation consequences of property development,
green technologies and capital allowance planning. In particular, we can assist in the
area of capital taxes planning which is a significant issue for most farmers following the
increase in land values and the availability of development opportunities.
