Org-mode has perfect tag inheritance but unfortunately

Hello,

I am curious how you are exporting. Are you exporting using subtree scope? I am asking because I am using the exact same style of tagging for my posts, and I export using subtree scopes using ox-hugo,.. and I faced the exact same challenge. 

The trick is to:

1. Set org-use-tag-inheritance to t (temporarily in let so that it doesn't populate the user-set global value). 

2. Use `org-get-tags-at' with point on "Task 1" heading in your example. `org-get-tags' returns a list of tags *only* at the current heading. `org-get-tags-at' returns inherited tags too.

Hope this helps.
