No, it's definitely the estate that pays it. The executor simply enables the transaction on behalf of the estate.The executor pays the IHT............. they need to be alive to do it. Ergo they have paid the tax. The deceased don`t pay it because........they dead.
And funded by Musk and communicated by Russian bots.
The executor is minus - ££££££`s........... they are "worse off" because they have paid IHT on assets that they still retain and carry on with.
IHT is one of the worst taxes that strangles the desire to invest, buy and do all the things that drive an economy, it is a tax of envy on the labour and work of the deceased.
Of course he's confused, he's dead remember having paid inheritance tax.
Death and Taxes.....
That depends on where some investments are held.
And don't forget the very generous tax relief on contributions going into pension schemes and the tax free element coming out. All of which have grown CGT free over the decades.
If you plan early enough and you can get your head around giving away the stuff you don't need when you are youngish, with no reservation of benefit, you can mitigate reasonable chunks of IHT (at the moment of course ... more than likely to change no doubt)
Do plenty of Skiing too boot to make sure you are not the richest person in the graveyard... such a waste.
You can give monthly sums away of any amount provided it is out of normal income and doesn't lower your own living standards or eat into your existing estate.
It's all swings and roundabouts at the end of the day.
What is it that you say, numbers and spreadsheets
Plenty of ways to navigate the problem.
I think it depends what part of the left wing think tank you get youre information frommost of us in reality land know exactly whete it comes from .The labour party started the debt problem so I suppose they will want to finish it

Labour started the debt problem?
I think this disproves that:
The Tories have always borrowed more than Labour, and always repaid less: they are the party of big deficit spending
It is often suggested that Labour is profligate and the Tories are the naturally ‘safe pair of hands’ when it comes to running the economy. The Tories, it is presumed, do not borrow as much as Labour. This is a hypothesis I have tested before. I thought it time to...www.taxresearch.org.uk

UK government debt 2026 | Statista

Go down the Blackbird, it's cash only (can't think why)Money doesn`t exist.............. its all just numbers on apreadsheets.........................
And it`ll get worse with the explosive growth in contactless/card payments.
Popped in one of the nice pubs in town yesterday, ordered a beverage, went to pay with a £10........... "Sorry we are card only"...... no notices, no warning and its only changed in the last month.
Turned round, walked out.
Will never understand the whole 'card only' thing. If you give some a £10 note then they have the full £10. If you pay £10 by card companies will usually lose between 1% to 3% of the transaction fee.Money doesn`t exist.............. its all just numbers on apreadsheets.........................

Have you read what FAUCI wrote in his diaries very interesting? now he doesn't want to answer to the house ,
I’ve seen a fair bit about his diaries, but I don’t know what it is you are referring to that was hidden, so was wondering which things were hidden that he wrote about. I’m presuming you’re not referring to when he butt-dialled Barbra Streisand.
About the origin of Covid that they were still peddling it was from Wohan but it was actually from somewhere else,not that it matters now ,but what we were all told to do etc
No need to do it in steps.
