Stock relief: tax off the increase in your farm stock

The short answerStock relief lets you deduct part of the rise in value of your farm stock from your taxable trading income. It's 25% for most farmers, 50% for partners in a registered farm partnership, and 100% for young trained farmers, within limits.

It's claimed on your Form 11, for accounting periods ending on or before 31 December 2027. Young trained farmers get the biggest benefit: the whole increase.
