Death and taxes – inheritance levy has become an ageist lottery for me | Letter

In a poignant letter, Robert Thomas, an 83-year-old, expresses his concerns about the impending changes to inheritance tax rules that could impose a hefty bill on his descendants. He highlights the emotional and financial burden of potentially facing a £6 million tax if he doesn't survive until October 2032. This situation underscores the broader implications of tax policies on family businesses and the generational wealth transfer, raising questions about fairness and the impact on older individuals.
