  1. No, it is fining your children for expecting you to leave them your money when they have no right to it. Spend every last penny you have before you die or buy things that can be given as gifts. There is absolutely no reason to pay more than a tiny amount of this tax if you are sensible.

  2. I only wish my parents had any money for me to inherit when they died. I got a few tools from dad and about £1500 from mum. Only wealthy people are affected by inheritance tax and even then it is pretty easy to get round.

  3. Luckily it only affects greedy and selfish people then. Why should your parents scrimp and save so that you can have an easy life?

  4. I just looked up how it affects normal people, truth is it only affects a small percentage of people who can easily afford it. The only people who seem to be moaning about it are the lazy, entitled generations who think the world owes them, you know, the so called comics who rant away on You Tube and who would not know what real work is. They are the ones not paying the taxes that normal people can't avoid because they have accountants sort that out for them.

  5.  @NotDuncan  There is no reason that poorer people cannot avoid it, in fact it is much more easy and less dubious than for a multi millionaire.

  6.  @Tensquaremetreworkshop  Totally agree with you there, it is a tax on the entitled generations who think the world (or in this case, their parents) owe them. Why should anyone's parents give them money for nothing when they have probably been dipping into their pockets all along anyway.

  7.  @annother3350  Unless he has been lucky or dishonest and avoided paying the tax that he should have been.

  8. They cannot take tax from dead people because when you are dead you don't need any money, no matter how wealthy you were in life.

  9.  @johnr8212  He is only looking after the money for future generations.

  10.  @philjohnson3547  Most taxes are raised in a fairly logical way, you pay more tax if you can afford to pay more. I can't think of another way it could be done.

  11. The only ways to avoid the need to pay tax are either pay much more for everything and for that money to go directly to the providers (eg charging people for every mile they travel on a road or have meters on street lamps etc. This would extend to paying the police to turn up if you got robbed or the fire service if your house caught fire). The alternative is for the state to own all businesses and the money they they make then pays for every service that taxes normally pay for.

  12. It sounds like you are in favour of paying for absolutely everything at point of use, having to put money in a meter if you want a street light on at night or a toll for each and every time you use a road. What about people who are unable to work due to significant disability? Perhaps you think they should be terminated to save anyone having to pay for their care?

  13.  @DeanSinger  It is only a tax on idiots or people who think they are entitled to money their parents worked hard for but didn't get to spend so that they don't have to work so hard. There are so many ways to avoid it .

  14.  @theimperialist2686  When I die I really don't care what happens to my money as hopefully I will have spent as much of it as possible which will benefit the economy. Any of my "toys" (including my yacht if I still have it) will be left to my surviving siblings and partner if she out lives me. Objects cannot be taxed.

  15.  @jaystevens1965  It all depends when they change hands and how honestly they are valued. Or if they are even known about.

  16. Says a man with a rich mummy and daddy who thought he was going to have an easy life when they died. Probably wouldn't even visit them in their care home or hospital to save money.
