Taxation and IHT relief no barrier to UK share farming. The landowner is still the active farmer.
The barrier to share farming in the UK is not tax, its human nature. An elderly person who has spent X decades farming their farm exactly the way they want it is not psychologically prepared to let go of the reins and have a completely new person on the farm deciding things on an equal basis. Its a recipe for arguments and fallings out. UK farmers are notorious for not wanting to co-operate and elderly ones even more so.
