Rejected petition ABOLISH INHERITANCE TAX

More details

A tax imposed on assets already taxed, unjust and unnecessary, creating undue stress and uncertainty.
Hard work and thrift should be rewarded, not taxed.
Without IHT over 50s would spend more and so would
their children without the worry of IHT looming ever
present. I say to the Government: You don't really need it but we do! Abolish IHT now!
