How can we defend inheritance tax

Tuesday 29th April 2008, 6pm

Inheritance tax is under attack, and not just from the political right. For too long the debate about this tax has been dominated by its critics. But, as the authors of the Fabian Society’s new pamphlet How to defend inheritance tax argue, there are very strong arguments for inheritance tax that need to be made if it is to survive.

So where do we start? What arguments will win public opinion? Is this up to government or do we need a citizen campaign? Can we form a progressive alternative to the Taxpayer’s Alliance? Can we reconnect tax with fairness?

Speakers at this event: Brendan Barber (TUC), Dr. Stuart White, Martin Narey (Barnardos)
