  • Resumen

  • This week, we dive into the issue of inheritance tax in Ireland, asking if it's time for a rethink. With house prices skyrocketing by 62% since 2012, many middle-class families find themselves unexpectedly asset-rich but cash-poor, facing significant tax bills on inherited homes. We explore potential adjustments like increasing the tax-free threshold or adjusting tax rates based on asset types, such as land and property. Could these changes ease the burden on families while fostering a more dynamic economy? Should inheritance tax exist at all, or is it crucial for maintaining economic equality? We also delve into the history of inheritance, exploring post-colonial influences on the Irish psyche and the surprising alignment of libertarian and Marxist views on wealth distribution.
