Kemi Badenoch – 2026 Comments on Inheritance Tax

The comments made by Kemi Badenoch, the Leader of the Opposition, on 7 October 2026.

The Conservatives are and always have been the party of home ownership. We understand why putting roots down and having a stake in society matters.

Our homes are where we watch our children take their first steps. They are where we gather every Christmas to put up the same decorations. Passing on your home to your family is one of the most human instincts of all.

That is why the next Conservative government will legislate so nobody will ever pay Inheritance Tax on their family home.

No Stamp Duty when you buy your home. No Mansion Tax when you live in your home. And no Inheritance Tax on your home when you pass it to your children or grandchildren. That is what the next Conservative government will deliver.
