Big relief that the new ‘high value council tax surcharge’ only affects homes worth more than £2 million

Income tax and national insurance thresholds frozen for another 3 years, right through until 2031
This means many more people will be pushed into paying income tax, or into higher ratea of income tax, as wages go up but tax thresholds don’t

Aaaarrrgggh more over complication of the ISA system
From April 2027, £8,000 of the £20,000 ISA allowance will be ‘exclusively for investment, ie the cash ISA allowance will be cut to £12,000
BUT not for over 65s, they can still use the whole £20k for cash

[AD] Why do some pension transfers take so long?
I’m supporting @pensionbee's petition for a 10-day pension transfer limit
Lengthy transfers can stop people taking control of their pensions, leaving them trapped in poor value or unsuitable funds

Stark reality of rising house prices:
in 2004, around 70% of 35 to 44 year olds owned their home.
That dropped to 50% in 2024, according to @PPI_Research

On his girlfriend's clothes spending:

A quarter of self-employed Brits spend an entire working day on #taxreturns, according to @GoSimpleTax
I feel like something out of Ab Fab: "Just the one, dear?"

If you’re worried when you see your pension balance go up and down, don’t worry. It’s normal for your pension balance to fluctuate as it's a long-term investment. @MuchMore_Less explains that staying focused on the long-term can help keep your retirement plans on track.
