Abstract
The economic recession has slowed efforts to weaken inheritance taxation in the UK. Political debates about cuts in government spending mean that cutting inheritance taxation is not seen as a priority. However, can present conditions create a positive case for wealth taxes? This chapter examines the ways that the recession might provide arguments for wealth taxation. A house price bubble is usually seen as one of the root causes of the crisis. This might support arguments about a form of land tax. Wealth taxes might also fit into a rethinking of economic policy.
