There's a report on the BBC website this morning about the plan to abolish inheritance tax on houses worth up to £1m. At the end of the report, there's the usual question seeking comments. It's worded thus:
'Do you own a home worth up to £1m?'
Well, yes; in fact anyone owning any house at all owns a home 'worth up to £1m', even if it's only worth £25k.
'Do you own a home worth up to £1m?'
Well, yes; in fact anyone owning any house at all owns a home 'worth up to £1m', even if it's only worth £25k.
