The SPD is in favor of maintaining the inheritance tax as a means to address wealth inequality and fund social programs. In the past, they have pushed for reforms to make the tax more effective and fair, but they have not called for its complete abolition.

Agree

No, reform so the tax rate is based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased

The SPD might be open to reforming the inheritance tax so that the tax rate is based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased. This approach could align with their goals of reducing wealth inequality and ensuring that the tax system is progressive. However, it is not their primary focus when discussing inheritance tax reform.

Agree

No, but increase the tax-free allowance

While the SPD might be open to adjusting the tax-free allowance to make the inheritance tax more equitable, their primary focus is on ensuring that the tax effectively addresses wealth inequality. They may support an increase in the tax-free allowance if it is accompanied by other reforms that strengthen the overall impact of the tax.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party (SPD) generally supports progressive taxation and wealth redistribution. Abolishing the inheritance tax would go against their core principles of reducing wealth inequality. Historically, the SPD has not advocated for the complete abolition of inheritance tax.

Strongly disagree

Yes, it is double taxation

The argument that inheritance tax is double taxation is not one that the SPD typically supports. They view the inheritance tax as a necessary tool to address wealth inequality and fund social programs, and they are more likely to focus on reforming the tax to make it more effective and fair rather than abolishing it on the grounds of double taxation.
