Abolish Inheritance Tax (Death Tax)

Closed 647 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to abolish this tax, which we believe is draconian and unfair.
Inheritance tax in many cases is a second tax on money that has already been taxed.

The inability to pass on the full value of one's savings, investments and property is adversely affecting a huge number of people.
