Scrapping Inheritance Tax?

The UK government is facing a crucial decision ahead of the next general election – whether to scrap inheritance tax. The move is being considered as a means to win over voters and secure constituencies in the south of England. 

Inheritance tax is currently levied on the value of an estate passed on to beneficiaries after the owner’s death, with a rate of 40% above the nil-rate band of £325,000 in the 2023/24 tax year. 

The proposal to eliminate this tax is generating mixed reactions, with proponents seeing it as an economic stimulus and a fair measure, while critics argue it would favour the wealthy and diminish funds for public services. 

The implications of such a decision are far-reaching and could significantly affect individuals and families across the country. While it may offer certain advantages, there are also potential drawbacks that need to be carefully considered.
