Loughton: Time to rein in the widening net of inheritance tax

New proposals for making inheritance tax fairer for residents in West Sussex

Tim Loughton MP for East Worthing and Shoreham added his backing to new calls to address the soaring level of inheritance tax. Nationally, Conservatives have outlined possible options to reduce or abolish this increasingly unpopular tax. More and more households are now liable for the tax, as since 1997, the tax threshold has been increased by far less than the average rise in house prices.

Average households in both Adur and Worthing living in detached houses are now liable to Inheritance Tax.

Tim Loughton explained,

'After seven years of Tony Blair?s Government, the tax system has become unfair and complex. Labour have put up taxes 66 times. Pensioners, homeowners, businesses and families on all income levels are paying more to a Government which is not giving them value for money.

'Once a tax on just the very wealthy, inheritance tax is increasingly a tax on the homes of ordinary families. I believe the tax system should support families? financial security and independence, rather than penalising them purely because of rising house prices.

'We are consulting on a number of ways in which we can reduce the burden of taxation. I would like the views of local residents across East Worthing and Shoreham on how we can deliver taxpayers better value for money.'

Notes to Editors

Soaring inheritance tax under Labour

The inheritance tax threshold in Britain in 2004-05 is ?263,000. The value of estates (property and assets) above the threshold is taxed at 40%. Since 1997, house prices have risen by an average of 138 per cent, but the inheritance tax threshold has only risen by 32 per cent (up from ?215,000 in April 1997). As a result, due to 'fiscal drag', more people than ever before will be liable for inheritance tax.

Since most estates will also include other financial assets, many will be liable for inheritance tax even if their property is slightly below the threshold.

Conservative proposals for reform

The possible options recently laid out by Conservatives for reform of inheritance tax are:

1. Abolishing inheritance tax.
2. Lowering the inheritance tax rate, which is currently 40 per cent.
3. Exempting principal residences from inheritance tax.
4. Raising the inheritance tax threshold from the current level of ?263,000
5. Linking the inheritance tax threshold to increases in house prices.

Average house prices in England & Wales (September 2004)

The chart below illustrates average house prices in different parts of the country. Any home close to or over ?263,000 will be liable for inheritance tax.

For example, in Adur below, the average household living in a detached home is now liable for inheritance tax. In Alnwick, just below the threshold, given the average estate will include other assets, it is very likely that the average household living in a detached home will also be liable for the tax.
