Said allowance would be affordable to the Treasury at a much higher level than the current exemption ceiling for inheritance tax.\r\n\r\nGiven the government's determination to clamp down on aggressive tax avoidance it would inconsistent to ignore inheritance tax.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":3,"created_at":"2013-02-11T18:09:36.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:28:52.655Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2013-02-12T09:05:25.000Z","closed_at":"2014-02-12T09:05:25.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2013-02-11T18:09:36.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[],"signatures_by_constituency":[],"signatures_by_region":[],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
