Strongly agree

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

Reforming the inheritance tax to be based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased could align with The Left's goals of reducing wealth inequality and targeting wealthier individuals for higher taxation. While this specific proposal might not be part of their official platform, it is likely that they would be open to considering such a reform if it helps achieve their broader objectives.

Disagree

No, but increase the tax-free allowance

Increasing the tax-free allowance would generally benefit wealthier individuals, which goes against The Left's goal of reducing wealth inequality. While they might be open to some adjustments in the tax system, their primary focus is on increasing taxes on the wealthy, not providing them with additional tax breaks.

Yes

Very strongly disagree

Yes, it is double taxation

The Left party does not view the inheritance tax as double taxation, but rather as a necessary tool to address wealth inequality. They believe that inherited wealth should be taxed to prevent the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few and to fund social programs that benefit the broader population.
