If it was bad enough that life only garuntee's death and taxes now the twallies in London want to be "allowed to raid estates from beyond the grave and force children to pay huge tax bills left by their dead parents".
The idea being muted is that they do not pay council tax to ease financial strangulation on them. Now a lot of these people will have worked all their lives paying tax NI etc and yet they are in the situation of being "skint" this is not on.
If its bad enough having to endure the death of a parent the greiving and their funeral without some arogent prat from the council coming along and saying for example; Sorry about your loss but you owe us £25000 for unpaid council tax. This does not include interest or charges and you have 28 days to pay or we will institute legal action to which we will ask for you to pay our costs". What the hell happened to looking after the grey brigade in their twilight years? Where has/is the money going that should be theirs by rights? I have my own inclination but will leave as is for the present as that would be an argument of its own.
