UK Conservative Leader Pledges to Abolish Inheritance Tax on Family Homes

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has pledged to abolish inheritance tax on family homes, should her party win the next election. The levy is widely unpopular, even though most estates fall below the threshold at which it is applied.

The threshold for inheritance tax can range from £325,000 to £1 million, depending on family circumstances. The Morning Poll is soliciting public opinion on the matter, with results to be published in the Morning Mail newsletter.
