Okay. We are the government - we want a chunk of
the dead person's estate.
Yes we know that s/he had already paid all relevant taxes during their lifetime on these funds.
Listen - they died so that gives us a right to steal your family's money.
Oy. If s/he hadn't had a reasonable amount we wouldn't be justifying robbery - so it's their own fault!
Alternatively, here is what Ukip have to say:
Following reports in the media about his tax affairs, UKIP Leader Nigel Farage issued the following statement: "In 2003 a new financial advisor looked at my pension, mortgage and investments and recommended that I set up a Family Trust for my children.
"The reason for setting up such trusts is to avoid the complications of inheritance tax that often prove to be a burden on grieving families.
In this Blog's view, trying to avoid Inheritance Tax is 100% moral.
The tax itself is nothing less than theft.
