class="govuk-grid-column-two-thirds"> <div data-module="govspeak" class="gem-c-govspeak govuk-govspeak govuk-!-margin-bottom-0"> <p>The Agricultural Tenancies Act 1995 applies only to farm business tenancies granted on or after 1 September 1995. A tenancy is a farm business tenancy for the purposes of the 1995 Act if it meets the business conditions (see below) laid down in the act and either the agriculture condition (see below) or the notice condition (see below).</p> <p>The policy of the 1995 Act is to phase out security of tenure under 1986 Act tenancies as quickly as possible, by providing that as 1986 Act tenancies disappear they can only be replaced with farm business tenancies under the 1995 Act. However, under the Regulatory Reform (Agricultural Tenancies) (England and Wales) Order 2006, the 1995 Act is amended to make it easier to create a new tenancy, from 19 October 2006, which will come within the provisions of the 1986 Act.</p> <p>Although the definition of agriculture (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm24220">IHTM24220</a>) used in previous agricultural holdings legislation is retained there is no definition of ‘farm business’. The new tenure therefore is potentially of very wide application.</p> <p>The Agricultural Tenancies Act 1995 does not apply in Scotland. See <a href="https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm24212">IHTM24212</a> for details of the equivalent legislation.</p> <h2 id="IDAJLVWF">The business conditions</h2> <p>The business conditions are that all or part of the land comprised in the tenancy is farmed for the purposes of a trade or a business and that all or part must have been so farmed since the commencement of the tenancy, ATA1995/S1 (2).</p> <p><a href="#Top">Top of page</a></p> <h2 id="IDARLVWF">The agriculture condition</h2> <p>The agriculture condition specifies that, having regard to the terms of the tenancy, the use of the land, the nature of any commercial activities carried out on the land, and ‘any other relevant circumstances’ the nature of the tenancy is wholly or primarily agricultural, ATA1995/S1 (3).</p> <p><a href="#Top">Top of page</a></p> <h2 id="IDAZLVWF">The notice condition</h2> <p>The notice condition enables the parties, as an alternative to satisfying the agriculture condition, to serve notice on each other at the commencement of the tenancy, specifying that the tenancy shall remain a farm business tenancy even if the user of the let land ceases, at a later date, to be primarily agricultural, ATA1995/S1 (4).</p> <p>Because of the notice condition a farm business tenancy can remain an agricultural tenancy even if the predominant use of the land and/or buildings becomes non-agricultural. In such circumstances, it is unlikely that the land in question will be occupied (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm24070">IHTM24070</a>) for the purposes of agriculture (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm24060">IHTM24060</a>) for the purposes of IHTA84/S117.</p> </div> </div> <div class="govuk-grid-column-full"> <nav data-module="ga4-link-tracker" aria-label="Pagination" class="govuk-pagination govuk-pagination--block"> <div class="govuk-pagination__next"> <a class="govuk-link govuk-pagination__link" href="/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm24241" rel="next" data-ga4-link='{"event_name":"navigation","type":"previous and next","text":"Next page","section":"Next"}'> <svg class="govuk-pagination__icon govuk-pagination__icon--next" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="13" width="15" aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" viewbox="0 0 15 13"> <path d="m8.107-0.0078125-1.4136 1.414 4.2926 4.293h-12.986v2h12.896l-4.1855 3.9766 1.377 1.4492 6.7441-6.4062-6.7246-6.7266z"></path> </svg> <span class="govuk-pagination__link-title govuk-pagination__link-title--decorated">Next page</span> </a> </div> </nav> </div> </article> </div> </div> <div class="gem-c-print-link govuk-!-display-none-print govuk-!-margin-bottom-3"> <button class="govuk-link govuk-body-s gem-c-print-link__button" data-module="print-link">Print this page</button> </div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="govuk-width-container"> <div data-module="feedback ga4-event-tracker" class="gem-c-feedback govuk-!-display-none-print"> <div class="gem-c-feedback__prompt gem-c-feedback__js-show js-prompt" tabindex="-1"> <div class="gem-c-feedback__prompt-content"> <div class="gem-c-feedback__prompt-questions js-prompt-questions" hidden> <div class="gem-c-feedback__prompt-question-answer"> <h2 class="gem-c-feedback__prompt-question">Is this page useful?</h2> <ul class="gem-c-feedback__option-list"> <li class="gem-c-feedback__option-list-item govuk-visually-hidden" hidden> <a class="gem-c-feedback__prompt-link" role="button" hidden="hidden" aria-hidden="true" href="/contact/govuk"> Maybe </a> </li> <li class="gem-c-feedback__option-list-item"> <button class="govuk-button gem-c-feedback__prompt-link js-page-is-useful" data-ga4-event='{"event_name":"form_submit","type":"feedback","text":"Yes","section":"Is this page useful?","tool_name":"Is this page useful?"}'> Yes <span class="govuk-visually-hidden">this page is useful</span> </button> </li> <li class="gem-c-feedback__option-list-item"> <button class="govuk-button gem-c-feedback__prompt-link js-toggle-form js-page-is-not-useful" aria-controls="page-is-not-useful" aria-expanded="false" data-ga4-event='{"event_name":"form_submit","type":"feedback","text":"No","section":"Is this page useful?","tool_name":"Is this page useful?"}'> No <span class="govuk-visually-hidden">this page is not useful</span> </button> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="gem-c-feedback__prompt-questions gem-c-feedback__prompt-success js-prompt-success" role="alert" hidden> Thank you for your feedback </div> <div class="gem-c-feedback__prompt-questions gem-c-feedback__prompt-questions--something-is-wrong js-prompt-questions" hidden> <button class="govuk-button gem-c-feedback__prompt-link js-toggle-form js-something-is-wrong" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="something-is-wrong" data-ga4-event='{"event_name":"form_submit","type":"feedback","text":"Report a problem with this page","section":"Is this page useful?","tool_name":"Is this page useful?"}'> Report a problem with this page </button> </div> </div> </div> <form action="https://www.gov.uk/contact/govuk/problem_reports" id="something-is-wrong" class="gem-c-feedback__form js-feedback-form" method="post" hidden> <div class="govuk-grid-row"> <div class="govuk-grid-column-two-thirds"> <div class="gem-c-feedback__error-summary gem-c-feedback__js-show js-errors" tabindex="-1" hidden></div> <input type="hidden" name="url" value="https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm24240"> <h3 class="gem-c-feedback__form-heading">Help us improve GOV.UK</h3> <p id="feedback_explanation" class="gem-c-feedback__form-paragraph">Don’t include personal or financial information like your National Insurance number or credit card details.</p> <div class="govuk-visually-hidden" aria-hidden="true"> <label for="giraffe">This field is for robots only.
