The Conservative Party estimates that Gordon Brown’s plans for a £20,000 death tax will rob 4.3 million of inheritance.
After thirteen years of taxing every aspect of our lives, Gordon Brown now wants to tax death. For people with modest savings, this will represent a 100 per cent inheritance tax. Recently, Gordon Brown was given three opportunities to deny he is planning a death tax to fill the black hole in his National Care Service plans – and each time he failed to do so. Interestingly, Andy Burnham, his Health Minister, has confirmed that it remains on the table. People can only assume that a vote for Labour is a vote for a £20,000 death tax.
