Rejected petition Abolition of Inheritance Tax (IHT)

More details

We the undersigned declare that Inheritance Tax (IHT) and all other forms of Estates Taxes are morally wrong; that individuals should be free to gift their estate without the burden of taxation to any individual, group of individuals or organisation; and that the Government should immedietly abolish Inheritance Tax, also known as Death Duties. Over life individuals build up their estate, being taxed at every stage, and the further double taxation of this residue upon death is a disgusting and vile practice.
