Stop charging such high amounts of inheritance tax
Rejected
9 signatures
What the petition asks
Change this. People pay all their life and now you want even more of people that worked hard for their money to leave for their family/friends and even when they have passed away you want more money of them.
It’s not fair to work hard to leave things in place to help the families left behind and then you want to charge them such high high amounts for having money that they worked hard for.
