Petition Scrap Inheritance Tax or raise the threshold of Inheritance Tax

More details

This tax is unfair, cruel and not not needed in today's stone age, it targets people at a time when they are grieving after a loved ones death.

I would like to see it scrapped or raised past the £1million pound mark as at the moment with the threshold being at £350,000 it is trapping in innocent families, forcing people to sell their homes unnecessarily.

Its about time that it STOPS NOW, the government can't continue to take money in this cruel, unfair way. Please sign this petition to put a full STOP to it.
