Yes, the threshold should be raised to £1M in my opinion. It will still affect the super rich.This to me, is where the concept of “inheritance tax” falls down;
There is no taking into account of how the estate was earned, how far over the threshold the individual is, and no accounting for how much the tax would deplete the estate.
I’m usually in favour of strict boundaries and the idea that a line has to be drawn somewhere. But with inheritance tax, if I’m not mistaken, you go over the threshold and you’re paying the tax?
