Avid UK Column Viewers will be unsurprised to learn that DEMOS (linked to common purpose, linked to the Cabinet Office) have had their sticky fingers all over the reform of Inheritance tax legislation in the UK. Full on communism in their promoted reforms including the removal of the free uplift for capital gains tax (so you would in fact get taxed twice under this proposal). And look what we find on page 11 of their proposal document:

"It is important to note that, in order to protect the revenue gain from the recommended inheritance tax reforms, the government may need to introduce additional reforms that limit the remaining opportunities for the wealthy to reduce their tax bills. The additional taxation placed on businesses and high value estates may lead to an increase in migration, lifetime giving, and use of remaining tax reliefs among wealthy individuals. This could reduce the revenue gain. The evidence is currently unclear on the extent to which these behavioural responses would occur and the impact on the revenue gain. Yet, if the government deems this to be a significant risk they should consider additional reforms, including:

- Taxing lifetime gifts: applying tax to lifetime gifts above, for example, an annual or lifetime allowance.
- Restricting agricultural relief: capping tax relief for farmland and buildings in the same way that is recommended for tax relief for business assets.
- Taxing pensions: bringing pensions into the scope of inheritance tax.

Now you know who really wrote some of the budget
