This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition Abolish the Inheritance tax.
Rejected on
The last thing any person wants to do is pay tax on inheritance gained from a dead relative, especially when that money has already been taxed during their life. It’s incredibly unfair to tax a family twice for their earnings and incredibly immoral to after their death. We need to abolish the tax.
