    Ask the USA & the UK to answer your questions.
    Let's face it, we defacto outsource our National Security to them
    as evidenced by the recent Nuke Sub deal as well as being
    a partner in the 5 eyes program.

    But of course, China doesn't have an inheritance tax if
    you fancy following its example...eh?

    Inheritance tax is imposed on those who do not earn the money
    just as our inherited Superannuation is taxed because it was the deceased
    who earned the Superannuation Tax concessions; not the inheritor.

    IMO the Aus taxation of inherited Super is half ways to a full blown
    Inheritance Tax like that of the USA, UK, Japan etc.

    Wile we followed the USA & the UK in adopting Neo-Liberalism
    which saw the wealth gap increase exponentially since the 1980s,
    we did not institute an inheritance tax to partially counter this trend.
