Strongly agree

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 aligns closely with Volt UK's progressive values, aiming to make the tax system more equitable and progressive, thereby reducing wealth inequality.

Agree

No

Agree

No, but increase the tax-free allowance

Volt UK might see merit in adjusting the tax-free allowance as a means to make the inheritance tax more equitable, possibly supporting this as a compromise solution that balances the need for tax revenue with the desire to not unduly burden smaller estates.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Volt UK Party, being a pro-European, progressive party, is likely to support measures that promote social equity and public funding through taxation. Abolishing the inheritance tax would go against these principles by reducing public revenues and potentially increasing wealth inequality.

Strongly disagree

Yes, it is double taxation

The argument that inheritance tax constitutes double taxation may not resonate with Volt UK's principles, as the party likely views such taxes as essential for redistributive purposes and funding public goods, rather than an unfair penalty on wealth.
