Rejected petition Lower inheritance tax on properties or cash

Recently inheritance tax is now 40% on anything over the value of £325000, this includes properties. People are now having to sell their inherited home or estate just to pay the 40% tax

More details

Why should we pay a further 40% inheritance tax on property or money earnt that has already been taxed.
Our families work and pay tax all their lives and when they die anything above £325000 nearly half goes back to the government. This is so wrong and it's about time this changed!
