re: #635 lawhawk


Again: I’m asking you about this as it applied to liquid or semi-liquid assets. You are still talking about family-run businesses.

Businesses can survive transfers, but we’re talking about the family affected by the estate - where selling could mean the end of a lifestyle/livelihood.

That’s the argument against a low threshold/low rate.

I’m sorry, what’s the argument there— that we shouldn’t lay taxes that disrupt people’s lifestyles?
