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

Reforming the inheritance tax so that its rate is based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased could be seen as a progressive measure that aligns with the PES's principles. It would aim to reduce inequality by taxing wealthier recipients at higher rates, which is consistent with the party's broader economic policies.

Strongly agree

No

PES tends to favor policies that address wealth disparities and fund social programs. Maintaining the inheritance tax aligns with their broader economic and social justice objectives, as it is a tool for redistributing wealth.

Agree

No, but increase the tax-free allowance

While the PES might support the idea of making the tax system fairer and less burdensome for lower-income individuals, completely increasing the tax-free allowance might not fully align with their goals if it significantly reduces the tax's redistributive effect.

Strongly disagree

Yes, it is double taxation

The argument that inheritance tax constitutes double taxation is more commonly associated with conservative or libertarian viewpoints, which typically oppose high levels of taxation. This perspective is generally at odds with the PES's approach to fiscal policy.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Party of European Socialists (PES) generally supports progressive taxation policies aimed at reducing inequality. Abolishing the inheritance tax would likely be seen as counterproductive to these goals, as it would benefit wealthier individuals disproportionately.
