FrozenOut Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Unless I have misread (in which I appologise) but as I understand it, you're saying inheritence should be taxed 100% From my perspective that means I would lose a share of my parents house and the house my grandmother lives in at the moment, when my dad bought it off the council during right to buy in the 80's to stop her being put in an old persons flat. As it goes, he didn't know its value would go from £25k to £180k Just to clarify, I rent - at 37 years old with cash in the bank but prices are too over inflated in the south east for me to afford to buy. At the moment, I need them to fall quite significantly so I can afford to buy WITHOUT counting on people dying to settle my debts - however, if they don't fall I'll have to get in to the market before much longer before banks start blowing me out for a mortgage because I'm past peak earning power - when that happens as distateful as you might find it, I'll need someone in my family to 'pop off' in order for me to stand a chance of paying off my mortgage. Ideally, over 3 years houses will fall sharply so I only have to take a small loan and I won't need ANYONE to kick the bucket to get me out of my debt - or I could rent for the rest of my life, which I guess you'll find fits well within your principles.

M'lud Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 They don't need the money any more - they're dead. No the ones still alive Like I said, making people poor is a really sh!t policy - please, explain the upside A dead person while alive wants me to have their stuff, they say so, the government wants money, they make sh!t up to take it, it makes me poorer than I would have been, how is that a good thing, why would you want that?

MarkG Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Like I said, making people poor is a really sh!t policy - please, explain the upside When everyone's poor we'll all be equal. Except the important people with their government-owned Zil limos on call and government-owned dachas for when they need to get away from their important jobs for a while.
