The Taxpayers’ Alliance has just dropped a poll showing that Brits are “unanimously” against inheritance tax, with 55% of Brits in favour of slashing (27%) or scrapping (28%) IHT altogether. That’s across both genders, all age groups, social grades, and political affiliations. Nearly half, 46%, labelled it the “least fair” tax. The TPA have now launched a new campaign to abolish IHT “once and for all”, with Elliot Keck saying:
“The British public clearly recognise that inheritance tax is an almost uniquely bad tax, given their unanimous support for cutting or abolishing it altogether. Our political leaders now need to listen to the electorate that put them in office and scrap inheritance tax once and for all.”
Meanwhile, Reeves is ploughing ahead with plans to impose IHT on inherited pensions – something experts have slammed as a “slow-motion car crash” – and slap the 40% tax on farms and businesses worth over £1 million, which supermarkets have warned will risk the UK’s food security. Co-conspirators can support the campaign to abolish the death tax here…
