> can't pay their tax bills

Labour in the UK introduced a 20% inheritance tax on >£2M rural property.

Although the rules were later somewhat changed. Perhaps after pressure due to terminally ill farmers committing suicide (before the tax came into effect so that they could pass on their inheritance).
