Very strongly agree

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

The SNP has called for a more progressive tax system, and reforming the inheritance tax to be based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased would align with this goal. This approach would help to ensure that wealthier individuals pay a larger share of the tax burden, which is consistent with the SNP's policy priorities.

Strongly agree

No, but increase the tax-free allowance

The SNP has criticized the UK government's approach to inheritance tax and called for reforms. Increasing the tax-free allowance could be one such reform that the SNP might support, as it would help to alleviate the tax burden on lower- and middle-income families.

Disagree

Yes, it is double taxation

While the SNP has criticized the UK government's approach to inheritance tax, they have not specifically argued that it is double taxation. Their focus has been more on reforming the tax system to make it fairer and more progressive, rather than abolishing specific taxes.

Disagree

Yes

The SNP has not explicitly called for the abolition of inheritance tax. However, they have criticized the UK government's approach to inheritance tax and called for reforms.
