No, reform so the tax rate is based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased

Reforming the inheritance tax so that the rate is based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased aligns closely with the Labour Party's principles of progressive taxation and reducing wealth inequality. This approach ensures that the tax burden is more equitably distributed, particularly targeting those who are already wealthy.

Agree

No, but increase the tax-free allowance

While the Labour Party supports the inheritance tax as a means of wealth redistribution, it might be open to reforms that make the tax system fairer, such as increasing the tax-free allowance. This could be seen as a compromise to ensure that the tax does not unduly burden middle-class families.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Labour Party, with its socialist orientation, generally supports progressive taxation and wealth redistribution. Abolishing the inheritance tax would be contrary to these principles, as it would favor wealth accumulation and transmission within the wealthiest segments of society.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, it is double taxation

The argument that inheritance tax constitutes double taxation is often used by those advocating for tax reductions for the wealthy. The Labour Party, focusing on wealth redistribution and reducing inequality, would likely strongly disagree with this rationale for abolishing the inheritance tax.
