英国保守党领导人凯米·贝德诺克在伯明翰党代会上公布了一项重大税收政策调整1。根据该计划，保守党若当选将废除家庭住宅遗产税，并允许已婚夫妇向家人留下额外100万英镑的免税资产1。贝德诺克表示"我的抱负是尽快完全废除遗产税"1。
这一政策的覆盖范围广泛，保守党声称还将取消印花税和豪宅税1。据党方计算，该方案预计将使当前缴纳遗产税的家庭比例从不足5%下降超过50%，并称已识别出70亿英镑的节省资金来支付这一改革1。
不过该政策招致了广泛批评。税收公正组织Tax Justice UK指责这是"对英国一些最富有人群的大规模遗产税赠礼"1。工会总书记保罗·诺瓦克则指出，鉴于95%的人本就无需缴纳遗产税，削减这项税收"对普通人毫无帮助"1。
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch unveiled an inheritance tax reform proposal at the party's Birmingham conference, pledging to abolish the family home inheritance tax and allow couples to pass an additional £1 million of tax-free assets to their families if the Conservatives return to power.1 The policy is projected to reduce the proportion of families currently paying inheritance tax from less than 5% by more than 50%, with the party claiming to have identified £70 billion in savings to fund the measure.1
Badenoch stated that her ambition is to eliminate inheritance tax entirely as soon as possible.1 The proposal also includes scrapping stamp duty and mansion tax.1 However, the announcement immediately drew criticism from opponents who contend the Conservatives are prioritising wealthy voters over ordinary people. Tax Justice UK condemned the plan as "a massive inheritance tax giveaway to some of the richest people in Britain,"1 while TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak argued that "95% of people don't pay inheritance tax, so cutting it doesn't help ordinary people at all."1
