Over 2.1m pensioners will pay tax on their savings by 2026-27, a significant increase from 517,000 in 2022-23, according to HMRC data. This is attributed to high interest rates and frozen tax thresholds. In total, 4.5m savers are expected to pay tax on bank interest this year.

HMRC has alerted young adults born between 2002 and 2011 about unclaimed Child Trust Funds, potentially worth £2,212 each. Over 750,000 individuals may be unaware of these funds, which were established with an initial contribution from the Government.

Reportedly, 98% of investors expect tax rises under Prime Minister Andy Burnham, fuelling speculation over portfolio changes. However, experts urge investors not to make rash decisions based on tax rumours, as selling assets too early can trigger tax bills and reduce long-term returns. Instead, they should maximise existing tax-efficient options such as ISAs, pensions, and, where appropriate, VCTs, EISs and SEISs

Four major pension providers have urged Chancellor John Healey to rule out changes to the rules around accessing 25% of pension pots tax-free. They are concerned that speculation about reducing the current tax-free limit could harm household finances. At present pensions are regulated like international football and this has allowed rumours to fester.

The providers, including Standard Life and Hargreaves Lansdown, want assurance that tax-free cash will remain unchanged in the upcoming Budget. Advice is becoming skilled guesswork…

Experts warn taxpayers about the complexities of inheritance tax (IHT) rules as HMRC opened nearly 5,000 formal inquiries in 2025/26, an 18% increase from the previous year. These investigations often check for unreported gifts and undervalued estates or other non-compliance. The rise in inquiries is attributed to frozen IHT thresholds, rising property values, and complex family wealth. Most taxpayers fall into one or more of those categories.

HMRC has recovered £1.36bn from families due to underpaid inheritance tax over the past five years. Investigations arise from suspected errors or omissions in estate valuations. NFU Mutual, which obtained the figures via a Freedom of Information request, warns that HMRC has extensive powers to scrutinise financial affairs. The total inheritance tax collected reached nearly £8.5bn last year.

Can you have growth without tax? Nicholas Lyons, the chair of Standard Life, has called for the stocks and shares Individual Savings Account (ISA) to focus solely on UK investments. He argues that this change would stimulate Britain's capital markets and economic growth.
Lyons also proposed an inheritance tax exemption for retail investors purchasing UK government bonds, aiming to increase domestic ownership of gilts. So yes.

Research reveals that 13% of Britons have stopped contributing to their pensions due to the cost-of-living crisis. An additional 4% plan to halt payments within six months, while 3% expect to do so later.

The rising costs of essentials are forcing households to cut expenses, with pension contributions often being the first to go. Workers who pause their payments miss out on employer contributions and tax relief. Research highlights that a 30-year-old woman could lose £30,000 from her pension pot if she takes a two-year break from contributions. They may be a bit rich, but the direction of travel is clear enough…

There are a couple of firms that we as independent financial advisors cannot access the funds of. Maybe this is why: Two of St James's Place’s biggest advisory firms Prospera Wealth Management and Wellesley Investment Management have both left the business, with Sovereign Wealth rumoured to be on the way out too, sending shares in the wealth manager tumbling.

Many UK investors remain unaware of the fees they pay for investments, according to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The city watchdog's review revealed that 30% of users on investment platforms lack clarity on charges. It was also shown that just 6% of assessed investment documents were written in plain English, making them hard to understand.

The FCA is consulting on proposals to simplify disclosures and improve transparency in investment costs. If you want clarity, please have a look at your client agreement with us … if you don’t have a client agreement with us, they are “free and clear”!
