Labour's plans to raid inheritance tax threshold
Just heard about this on LBC. A lifetime tax. This would basically be a raid on any assets and also mean any gifts given during the lifetime of the parent would be subject to tax.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a8981991.html

Re: Labour's plans to raid inheritance tax threshold
Liquidating assets to pay for care in later life is absolutely the right thing to require of people, and with an improved NHS that requires people to pay part of the cost of non emergency treatment is also a good way forward.However what is being floated breaks new ground.

The threshold of £125k is stupid.
It will lose them a lot of votes.
Of all the things that the Corbynistra are stupid is not one of them. They are playing to their target electorate quite brilliantly.
