Strongly agree

No, but increase the tax-free allowance

The CDU has historically supported increasing the tax-free allowance for inheritance tax. For example, in 2016, the CDU, along with their coalition partner SPD, passed a reform that increased the tax-free allowance for close relatives and introduced new rules to protect family businesses from the tax burden.
