About a third of people think they’ll have to pay inheritance tax. Yet the most recent Treasury figures show that it’s paid on just 3.76% cent of estates.
@PippaCrerar And thus why the Tories have identified it as something which both helps the rich but also might win them floating voters. Don’t be tricked.
@PippaCrerar A massive tax cut for the richest by the richest PM ever
@PippaCrerar @MikeGapes Tax cuts for the rich!
@PippaCrerar @Eglantine99 Unfortunately that's me, makes it hard for me to go back to the UK.
@PippaCrerar Typical Tory gaslighting. This benefits the super rich only but they'll tell you you'll benefit too.
@PippaCrerar How is this going to help the red wall? Oh wait….
@PippaCrerar instead of slashing inheritance tax, can we slash inheritance instead? it should be capped, say at £2m. anything above and beyond that goes to a national fund to help the bottom 25%
@PippaCrerar As if the fact that only a few people are impacted is an argument of favour of a tax.
