It's Time to Abolish Inheritance Tax

Inheritance tax is one of Britain's most unpopular taxes, and the political pressure to scrap it is now growing. Podcast host Duncan Barkes is joined by the TPA's William Yarwood and the Adam Smith Institute's Maxwell Marlow to make the case for abolishing inheritance tax, as the Conservatives explore plans to scrap the levy altogether. They discuss why inheritance tax penalises saving, investment and families trying to pass on what they have built, whether abolition could boost growth, and how the lost revenue could be covered through spending restraint rather than higher taxes elsewhere.
