Rejected petition Stop charging such high amounts of inheritance tax

Rejected on 4 April 2023

Change this. People pay all their life and now you want even more of people that worked hard for their money to leave for their family/friends and even when they have passed away you want more money of them.

It’s not fair to work hard to leave things in place to help the families left behind and then you want to charge them such high high amounts for having money that they worked hard for.

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Raise the Inheritance Tax threshold from £325,000 to £1 million: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/622532

Abolish Inheritance Tax: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/626369

If you want inheritance tax to be changed in a different way to the above petitions you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
