Labour Party

Strongly agree

No

The Labour Party is more likely to support maintaining or even increasing the inheritance tax as a means of wealth redistribution and addressing income inequality. For example, in their 2020 General Election Manifesto, they proposed to maintain the current inheritance tax rates and thresholds.

Agree

No, reform so the tax rate is based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased

The Labour Party might be open to reforming the inheritance tax system to make it more progressive, such as by basing the tax rate on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased. This would align with their general support for progressive taxation and wealth redistribution. However, there is no strong historical evidence of the party advocating for this specific policy.

Agree

No, but increase the tax-free allowance

While the Labour Party might not be strongly in favor of increasing the tax-free allowance, they could potentially support such a measure if it were part of a broader package of progressive tax reforms. However, there is no strong historical evidence of the party advocating for this specific policy.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Irish Labour Party generally supports progressive taxation and wealth redistribution. Abolishing the inheritance tax would go against these principles. Historically, the party has not advocated for the complete abolition of inheritance tax.

Strongly disagree

Yes, it is double taxation

The argument that inheritance tax is double taxation is often used by those who oppose the tax. The Labour Party, as a center-left party, is more likely to view inheritance tax as a necessary tool for wealth redistribution and addressing income inequality, rather than as an unfair form of double taxation.
