Conservative Party

Strongly agree

No, but increase the tax-free allowance

This approach aligns with the Conservative Party's historical stance on taxation, which includes making the tax system fairer and less burdensome for individuals. Increasing the tax-free allowance would be seen as a compromise that supports wealth accumulation and transfer within families, a principle that resonates with Conservative values.

Strongly agree

No, but increase the tax-free allowance

The Conservative party has shown support for increasing the tax-free allowance for inheritance tax. In 2015, they introduced a new 'family home allowance' which increased the tax-free threshold for family homes passed on to direct descendants. This suggests that they would be more likely to support increasing the tax-free allowance rather than completely abolishing the tax.

Agree

Yes

The UK Conservative party has historically been in favor of reducing or abolishing inheritance tax. For example, in 2007, they proposed raising the inheritance tax threshold to £1 million. However, more recent manifestos have not included a complete abolition, suggesting that while they may support the idea, it is not a top priority.

Agree

Yes, it is double taxation

Some members of the Conservative party may argue that inheritance tax is a form of double taxation, as the deceased's wealth has already been taxed during their lifetime. However, this argument has not been a central part of the party's policy on inheritance tax, so the score is not as high as for other answers.

Agree

Yes, it is double taxation

The argument against double taxation resonates with the Conservative Party's broader tax philosophy, which emphasizes efficiency and fairness in the tax system. However, the complete abolition of the inheritance tax might be seen as too radical a step for some within the party, despite agreement with the principle.

Slightly disagree

No, reform so the tax rate is based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased

While the Conservative party has not explicitly proposed a reform to base the tax rate on the wealth of the recipient, they have generally been in favor of reducing the impact of inheritance tax. This suggests that they may not be strongly opposed to such a reform, but it is not a policy they have actively pursued.

Disagree

No, reform so the tax rate is based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased

Reforming the inheritance tax to be based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased might be seen as introducing complexity and potentially higher taxes for wealthier recipients, which could be contrary to the Conservative Party's general approach to taxation and wealth.
