1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Right. It has just gone twenty seven minutes after five year.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: On news Talk, said b I'm always a little bit

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: paranoid about what governments are planning and what kind of

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: taxes that they're scheming up. And if you look at

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: the UK, which is of recently elected governments, one of

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: the few that sort of has a mandate and is

7
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: actually functioning. I mean, look at France, or look at

8
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: the lame duck president in the United States. However, if

9
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: you look at the UK and Cares Starmer, they are

10
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: talking about and it is just muffles and quiet, secret

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: little meetings that have been reported in the press. The

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: potential for an inheritance fiddling with their inheritance tax. They

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: have one, we don't. On n Heather's show yesterday they

14
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: were speaking about with Jeff Nightingale about the potential for

15
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: our Labor Party to introduce one. I hate the idea

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: of it. In the UK it's forty percent and they

17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: paid seven out of a half billion pounds and death

18
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: duties last year, which is a huge increase. And this

19
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: is largely because property prices have gone up. And what

20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: governments all over the world are doing is running out

21
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: of money and they're running out of ways to tax people,

22
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: and this one's quite appealing to a lot of them.

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: And if you look at the UK in particular, so

24
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: the number paying death duties is expected to jump from

25
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: thirty three thousand this year to nearly forty four thousand

26
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: by the end of the next parliament. And that is

27
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: a very tempting number for a government that needs new

28
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: ways of finding revenue. And this is obviously the post

29
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: war baby boomer generation now approaching, you know, the average

30
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: life expectancy. So look out, governments all around the world

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: will be looking at ways to tax us more. I'm

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: not saying it's going to happen here. Obviously, there was

33
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: a hint on here this show yesterday that labor might

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: be planning something. I don't like the idea of this.

35
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: I think, just keep out of our business please, And

36
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: if somebody is dying in your family, the last thing

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: you want to think about is the forty percent you've

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: got to pay to the tax man. Right, We're coming

39
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: up to News after that, we are going to talk

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: about Pseudoe for Dream and star blowing up in the sky.

41
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,480
