Governments ultimately own everything simply because they have the guns.

I feel that inheritance tax is a good thing, however, it should not go to the treasury, but instead to the local authority. In this way it benefits the community they were a part of, rather than a meaningless black hole of untraceable generic funding, that is as likely to be spent on Boris Johnsons security guards as it is something actually worthwhile. I feel the same about funds of closed companies automatically going to the treasury. It should be used locally where they need the money.

Nope. The most recent HMRC statistics show less than 4% of estates paid inheritance tax in 2020–21. This will probably rise to over 7% by 2032–33. Only the most wealthy estates pay it.

the most wealthy estates do not pay, they have trusts, declarations of agriculture or business.

that's why a third of the fucking country is in the hands of "nobility".

people say this and they wont pay much after deductions. like how much money do you have? I bet its not enough to warrant the complaint. but in other news, why dont you complain about what they spend the money on? a healthy tax base and actually interesting spending is great, you build pretty great place to live that way. Instead its gazilllions in civil service wages for them to do nonsense tasks for 60 years. or NHS spending that allows people with a bent toe to get sattelite laser surgery costing 5trillion. shit like that, complain about spending not tax.

Does it not bother you that your inheritance has already been taxed by the person it belonged to, then again once inherited by that same government?..

It's total unacceptable, morally and ethically wrong on many levels..

I couldn't care if they want to spend however much on certain things, what I do care about is getting scammed by the government by taking a double stab at you with your inheritance.


Look at pensions now, working all your life paying stamp for pensions. Once you retire and you start claiming it, you get taxed again?

Can someone else surely see the wrong doing by here?..

If someone dies they want you to pay tax, if you get paid they want you to pay tax, even when you bloody eat you pay taxes, good job there isn't a sleeping tax aswel ffs

I'd prefer not to have my money stolen in the 1st place than beseeching to a plutocracy to get a little back.

in those countries you apparently despise the worst narco terrorists dribble out these same trinkets. yet they don't come close to the kill rate. governments are by far the largest murderers on the planet and taxes (effectively collected at gunpoint) are what pay for it. this has been consistent throughout history.

but hell yes id be happy to pay for parks, recreation and lots of things short of murder and plutonic corruption.

The infrastructure of the country is what has allowed an individual to accumulate the wealth. If someone is so greedy that they think it is preposterous to pay inheritance tax they are free to live elsewhere. The problem of the ultra-wealthy finding ways around paying any taxes at all is another issue of course. And yes the country is still mired in feudalism hence the landed gentry still being around and anachronisms such as hereditary peers sitting in the house of lords.

You got off lightly, my usual method involves buying btc then transferring to an electrum wallet. My usual £44 transaction ended up costing £80 in fees just to get it through the system and out of limbo... even with a £20 network fee last night from electrum to here it still took 8 hours to clear.... (I paid extra in the end to get it past the post). I guess it pays to stay clued up with what's going on in the world of Bitcoin.

I feel your pain. Its crazy!

I'm getting quoted a $28 fee with exodus. Yesterday it was $38 but it's still too high at $28. Its normally around $3.

Yeah I know, I've read the replies here, but I still don't understand will the fees go down? I use Coinbase and its never been that high for me?

It's coinbase i use. Fee's never been so high
