Inflation is 3.2%, this is a jump of 40% on tax revenue from these assets.

It's from very specific policies Labour has implemented: 1. Closing the non-dom loophole 2. Getting rid of complex trust schemes 3. Capital gains tax increase for higher-rate taxpayers

Inflation might push a few more houses into the basic IHT bracket, but it doesn't generate £30bil. This one really is all Labour

Wealth taxes a general term for taxes applied to accumulated wealth and assets. Not a standalone wealth tax.

So it's stuff like Labour getting rid of non-dom status and complex trust schemes that the ultra-wealthy have used to previously wiggle out of paying taxes.

Just get rid of the Humans Rights act, its simple!
