Inheritance tax faces axe if Kemi Badenoch wins next election as ditching ‘hated’ levy will be funded by welfare cuts

Last week Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced plans to impose a £1.6billion ‘tourist tax’, which would hit Britons holidaying in the UK with a 5 per cent surcharge – the latest in a raft of rises to tax and National Insurance since Labour’s 2024 general election victory.
