What the petition asks
Increase inheritance thresholds:
Single person raise to £1,000,000
Married couple raise to £2,000,000
Tax free gifting £ 10,000
Single person raise to £1,000,000
Married couple raise to £2,000,000
Tax free gifting £ 10,000
We believe inheritance tax thresholds are out of date, when average house price is around £500,000 in the South East, many people will be subjected to 40% IHT
