Abolish Inheritance Tax

What the petition asks
We’d like to abolish the Inheritance Tax - the most unfair tax in the UK currently.
We feel it is very unfair for some people to work for a large part of their lives and have their money taken by the government with them not being able to choose who or where their money goes too.
Depending on financial thresholds, some people pay up to 40% of their wealth to the government which just seems cruel.
