For immediate release
Responding to Angela Rayner’s refusal to rule out further inheritance tax hikes at Prime Minister’s Questions, John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“Rayner’s refusal to rule out a further cash grab will send shivers down the spine of every taxpayer hoping to pass on a nest egg to their children.
“Inheritance tax raises little money for the Treasury but devastates grieving families and is now set to hit farmers and family businesses as well.
“The government should not only scrap the planned changes to agricultural and business relief, it should commit to scrapping the death duty entirely.”
