Introduce Land Tax or similar reform so super rich can't avoid Inheritance Tax

Petition Details

PM Mrs May said in her first speech "When it comes to taxes, we’ll prioritise not the wealthy, but you." The new Duke of Westminster, using family trusts, just avoided paying £3.6 BILLION Inheritance Tax.

Land Tax can't be avoided so no one can avoid paying their fair share. Let's make it happen!
