Originally posted by VectraManPersonally I think we should do away with inheritance. Give the whole lot to the government: if it reduces the tax burden that we all share than that's a plus, and if it puts an end to spoilt rich kids getting all of Daddy's money despite them never doing a day's work in their life, then that's a double plus.

Originally posted by AtWVectra, what do you think will happen when such stupid law is put into practice? At best people simply wont save money so they will be burden on the state to support them when they retire, at worse people will put money abroad and their kids will just leave this country for 6 months to get all the money tax free.
I agree that it probably wouldn't work in practice. I just think as a principle, why is somebody entitled to somebody else's money and property? When you're dead, your ownership of property or money is effectively void. And if taxing the dead at 100% means less tax on the living, I say yaay!Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Originally posted by xoggothWe get taxed on our earnings, taxed on what we manage to save from what we are allowed to keep, then taxed on that when we snuff it. How many times are we supposed to be taxed on the same money??

Originally posted by VectraManOr they spend the money, benefiting the economy, and their children have to work hard to build their own lives, also benefiting the economy.
Even assuming you will have paid off your house, the council tax bill alone will eat 25% of the pension - and you will have choice to gamble saving few quid over winter with risk to die from cold, is this the kind of retirement that appeals to you?
IMO, people who earned money and paid taxes should do with their money anything they want - these money ain't yours, not Gordons, not nobodys.
After certain level of income it makes sense to just pay few smart people to put money into offshore and just leave this country for a year to get cash tax free.Comment

Originally posted by AtWDo you think you will get acceptable retirement lifestyle at the state pension (which won't be there in 20 years anyway) of less than 100 quid per week?

Originally posted by VectraManDon't see what that's got to do with anything. We were talking about inheritance which means you must have some money when you retire.
Agree completely. I never suggested anything different. But when somebody is dead all bets are off, the concept of ownership doesn't apply, so that money has to go somewhere so why not into public funds?
It's a case of bringing us all down to the lowest common denominator. Comments by Vectraman sound like the old class warrier envy nonsense.Comment
