The UK Treasury is considering tightening inheritance tax rules as part of efforts to address a budget deficit exceeding £40 billion. Proposed changes include preventing parents from making unlimited tax-free gifts to their children, which would represent a significant shift in current inheritance tax policy. Additionally, the Chancellor is exploring adjustments to capital gains tax to help bridge the fiscal gap ahead of the upcoming budget. These measures aim to increase government revenue amid ongoing financial pressures.
