heating you can't use

Or borrow $250,000 off daddy and start your own Amazon. Evidently we can all do it.

The only way to beat it is, sanctions against Tax havens, 60% tax on anything left to you over say £250,000, do not let businesses trade in the UK if it has a domicile group company.

Make family trusts illegal

Hit them and hit them hard.

£250k isnt taxing the rich, thats around an average value for a house for most parts of the UK that people would likely want to leave to children. Taking a huge percentage of that would be completely unfair and make home ownership pointless

Wonder how many will still be splashing out on apple products and sky tv though

my diesel van is now a spare room and potting shed.

Get some cooking oil in it mate.

 

[Middlesbrough123]

I looked at making my own fuel years from recycled cooking oil but you only allowed so much before you pay a lot on tax on it even though you made it

There is already a sunflower shortage due to the war in Ukraine.

That mentality is part of the problem. It's easy to say "tax the rich" while sitting at home doing nothing about it...

We'd be taxing every single supermarket CEO in the UK, and to combat the tax rises on the individuals, prices would go up... and there's nothing we'd be able to do about it because we'd still be too lazy to shop anywhere else, so we'd just go back to complaining and doing nothing.

You think increased personal tax on wealthy individuals leads to companies increasing prices? No direct causal link at all. Companies are not affected by the personal tax affairs of their shareholders or directors, they are entirely separate things

They are not children. The average age receiving a legacy is close to 55yo. Exactly when you don't need it. The money wasn't earned, it was house inflation.

Tackle tax avoidance.

End subsidies to business that don’t pay tax in the UK.

End taxpayer-funded subsidies to business that pay dividends to private shareholders.

Renationalise and redistribute.

At some point, we’re going to have to stand up and fight back against this shower of despicable, entitled, lying, racist f*ckers. Let’s do it now.

Why should any of us work our entire lives to pay for a house that the majority will eventually go back to the state?

seems like this country would rather have rampant inflation, gross inequality and a corrupt government than anything remotely socialist like essential services in public hands and a fairer society.

Agreed. We have created our own prison. Conditioned our own minds. Escaped from freedom.

and cars you can no longer drive. Meanwhile the rich get richer.

What kind of country is this?

A Tory country full of working class Tories voting against their own interests just to feel better about themselves.

The main purpose of home ownership is crowd control. You're not going to riot if you think you have something to lose. Thatcher's greatest con trick.

Amazing, can't tax the rich because things will cost more.

Hook, line, sinker.

Just hope the people lower down in the pecking order, (me included), remember this at the next general election.

Current iht threshold is 325k and then anything above that is taxed at 40% already.

We need to tax the here and now rich people not when they die and they’ve protected via trusts etc

Many people won’t. The Tories will do a good job of demonising minorities again (gunning for trans people this time certainly - and that’s working based on some evidence on this board, along with asylum seekers as usual) and people will vote that way.
