Webinar: Inheritance Tax Changes – What They Mean for Family-Owned Transport Businesses

Webinar: Inheritance Tax Changes – What They Mean for Family-Owned Transport Businesses

From depots to vehicles to land – many transport businesses have assets built over generations. But proposed changes to Business Property Relief (BPR) and Agricultural Property Relief (APR), due to take effect from 6 April 2026, could make it more costly and complex to pass those businesses on to the next generation. 

In this free, sector-focused webinar, our expert panel will explain the changes, explore the risks, and highlight practical steps operators can take now. 

What you’ll learn: 

  • The proposed changes to BPR and APR — and how inheritance tax relief works now 
  • Real-world examples of how the reforms could affect transport businesses 
  • Corporate and legal strategies for succession planning and ownership transition 
  • How the RHA is lobbying government and raising awareness on behalf of the sector 

Speakers: 

  • Richard Smith, Managing Director, RHA – policy, lobbying, and awareness 
  • Gary Rowson, Partner, Armstrong Watson – tax and estate planning 
  • Emily Carpendale, Solicitor, Backhouse Jones – corporate and legal considerations 

Who should attend: 
Owners, directors, and senior managers of family-owned haulage, coach, freight, and van businesses — particularly those with significant assets — plus finance, HR, and legal professionals supporting the sector.
