Opposition leader Kemi Badenoch has pledged to change inheritance tax as she sought to portray the Conservatives as a “no-nonsense” party.
The commitment was made as Badenoch described the party’s challenge as a “battle for the soul of this nation”. The source material does not specify what changes she is proposing, how they would be implemented or when they would take effect.
The pledge forms part of Badenoch’s effort to set out the Conservatives’ political identity while in opposition. No further details of the policy, including its cost or its potential effect on taxpayers and estates, were provided in the available material.
The latest position is that the Conservatives have been promised changes to inheritance tax, but the scope and timing of any reform remain unclear.
