The impact of the new five-year rule on farmer’s averaging on the calculation of business profits.
- Farmers can average their profits over two years under ITTOIA 2005 s 221 to s 225.
- From April 2016 the rules are to change to allow averaging over five years.
- Cash businesses will continue to be unable to average profits.
- Should the rules work retrospectively as now or by way of an irrevocable election?
