I was listening to a radio discussion this morning about inheritance tax and the fact that you have to pay 40% on everything you inherit, over an initial £300,000. So, you work hard, you put in long hours, and you do everything you can to build a life for you and your family, putting as much money aside as possible to prepare for the future. Then, come the day you die, nearly half of the money you...

Do you love or hate Marmite? It is the one question that gets a guaranteed polarised answer. As a product it leaves little room for the middle ground. Tax is a little bit like that. When we talk to our clients about tax, and inheritance tax in particular, they either want to do everything in their power to avoid it or they accept it (I will not go as far as to say they love it) as an unavoidable reality....

The latest polling (for example today in the The Guardian ) makes for...
