That isn't true. Great article about the death tax here[1]. Also, have a look at these famous auctions[2]. Some were brought on by things other than taxes but death duties that Labour increased in the 1940s were definitely a precipitant. But these taxes are far reaching. From [1] it even says the death duties earn less than booze or tobacco, or vehicle duties. I can't speak to corporate holdings of property, I am specifically talking about property held for generations in families. My general points are that it is a)inefficient and strange to target certain people that inherited and b) when you do target them, there are unintended consequences.
