The report also looks at alternative models built around a lump-sum charge on the value of estates.<\/p>\n<p>The report makes two key observations. First, the abolition of means-testing in social care would likely require tax-rates upwards of 13%. However, at such a rate, many families would likely move their wealth around in order to lower their exposure, casting severe uncertainty on the revenue that would be derived.<\/p>\n<p>Second, a &#8216;charge + cap&#8217; model &#8211; in which a lump-sum charge was applied to the value of estates, but with the proportion of an estate that is payable &#8216;capped&#8217; &#8211; would overcome many of the problems associated with an estate-tax model.<\/p>\n<p>This report has been published as part of the Care Funding Futures work programme run by the Strategic Society Centre.
