@icecreamavfc@WeYamtheMods@legalclaret @GlennSagejones IHT is paid out of the estate. The payment of tax on legacies reduces the need to take tax from people who need it to live, and over time reduces inequalities that arise from inherited wealth. I’d rather pay tax when I’m dead than when I’m alive
@RachelReevesMP Will you be giving councils increased funding so that they can meet their increased wage bills and the invoices they received from outsourced suppliers of social care?
@crit_gen@JournalistJill AI/ camera trickery on the Beeb space program this week - shots of helicopters cut in with footage of Mars from probes. Guess it’s an easy mistake to make if you’re hard of thinking
@mexicola25 @ericdouglas999 @implausibleblog@AyoCaesar It’s not about tax take. It’s about posturing to the masses that “the rich must pay”. The rich already pay for EVERYTHING.
@ericdouglas999 @implausibleblog@AyoCaesar Switzerland has an income tax rate of 11% and no CGT. Most people in the U.K. with wealth either earned through entrepreneurship paid CGT or had entrepreneurial relief) or inherited (and paid IHT). The rich already pay the bulk of the taxes in the UK. Most people are net takers.
@jk_rowling Why would I want to die if society sees me as a man? I’d be paid better, listened to more often, less likely to be sexually assaulted. What’s the problem?
