Abolish inheritance tax.
Rejected

What the petition asks
We believe that Inheritance Tax should be abolished. It is a tax on assets that have already been taxed. People should be free to leave their assets to whomsoever they want without fear of being taxed again. We believe that the Government should be bold enough to act and axe this iniquitous tax.
