Strongly agree

Yes, it is double taxation

The DUP may agree with the argument that inheritance tax is a form of double taxation, as it taxes assets that have already been taxed during the deceased's lifetime. This argument aligns with their general stance on reducing taxes and promoting economic growth.

Agree

No, but increase the tax-free allowance

The DUP might support increasing the tax-free allowance as a way to reduce the burden of inheritance tax on families and businesses. This would align with their general stance on reducing taxes and promoting economic growth.

Disagree

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

While the DUP may not be completely opposed to reforming the inheritance tax system, basing the tax rate on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased might not align with their general stance on reducing taxes and promoting economic growth. They may prefer other reforms that reduce the overall tax burden.
