Abolish Inheritance Tax

Additional Information

Request the Government acknowledges that this tax is basically using an outdated policy to steal people’s wealth. This is enforced by law.
Inheritance tax is taking a percentage of wealth from families purely on the basis that a loved one has passed away... little bit disgusting.
Unable to find a valid reason supporting the necessity of this tax.
Wealth that was initially taxed when accrued is being taxed again just because someone has died.
Whether the inherited amount is £1 or £1,000,000, this should not be something that our country imposes on its people.
The Government should abolish this tax with immediate effect as it is a disgraceful policy which is both outdated and morally unjust.
