Abolish inheritance tax

Closed 497 signatures

What the petition asks

We see Inheritance tax as a tax on the already taxed, and we think it needs to be removed.
We believe taxation should be at source of income not on already taxed income. It is therefore double taxation and should be cancelled. We think it is disgraceful.
