For immediate release
Responding to reports that Rachel Reeves is set to increase inheritance tax at the budget, John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“Taxpayers will be dismayed at reports that the chancellor intends to increase inheritance tax in the budget.
“With the threshold already frozen, more and more estates are being hit by this vindictive levy which leaves grieving families with huge tax bills at the worst possible time.
“Rachel Reeves should immediately rule out raising the hated death tax.”
