According to a YouGov poll, 52% of Britons think inheritance tax should either be reduced or scrapped altogether, while 13% want it to stay at its current level and 9% think it should be increased.

Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has promised that, if she comes to power, inherited family homes would be exempt from inheritance tax, regardless of their value. Couples would also be able to pass on up to £1 million in other assets to their children tax-free.

But promising something is one thing; actually delivering on it is another. Sadly, at this point, it all still sounds a bit like empty promises. Don’t you think?
