Isn't Inheritance tax just stealing from the dead and why doesn't the royal family pay it?

Answer 1

Yes, you pay when you earn it, you pay when you spend it, and then you pay when you die. Then whomever inherits it, pays when they spend it and pays when they die....etc, etc.

Hope those people make good investments.

Doesnt make sense to me.

Answer 2

Inheritance tax is robbery plain and simple,Brown should wear a mask like Dick Turpin except Dick was the more honest of the two. The only people who condone this robbery are those unlikely to have to pay it! Yes, the Royal Family may pay it but they have the best tax avoidance advice in the country

Answer 3

No, it's not stealing form the dead, it's stealing from the living that the recently deceased leave their hard earned to. The Royals probably have all kinds of trusts and offshore accounts to avoid paying it. And much of their wealth is tax exempt because it's open to the public and considered a public asset.

Answer 4

Uh, because the Inheritance tax is not International Einstein.

Answer 5

Inheritance is an addition to income and therefore should be taxed reasonably .Ithink you will find Viscount Linley paid inheritance tax on his mothers estate as did harry and william.

Answer 6

Its fair if you ask me.
It's not taxing the dead, it's taxing the living who inherit the money.

Answer 7

there should be one tax on earnings, one time
here in the USA, when we still had some backbone, we had a tea party about over taxation.
Helped then

Answer 8

Because the government and the royal family are both backed by this evil group!...
