Inheritance tax should be equitable

Many tax obligations are triggered by life events. Your first job, a house purchase, marriage and retirement are all occasions for getting in touch with an Inspector of Taxes. 

Death is also such an event. Capital acquisitions tax is the official title for a tax better known to many as inheritance tax or death duties.

It seems inheritance tax can be added to the list of things the Government is surely going to look at in the next budget.
