This week Nick talks to Judith MacKenzie. Judith joined Downing in October 2009, bringing with her extensive experience in venture capital and fund management. Prior to this, she was a partner at Acuity Capital, where she managed AIM-listed VCT and IHT investments, as well as a small-cap activist fund. Before Acuity, Judith spent nine years as a senior investment manager at Aberdeen Asset Management Growth Capital, where she co-managed five Aberdeen VCTs, focusing on technology and media investments across both public and private companies. In 2010, she founded Downing Fund Managers, the boutique investment division of Downing LLP. Judith currently serves as Chair of the Quoted Companies Alliance and holds active board roles in both private and public sectors.Nick and Judith discuss her journey into finance, inspired by working in her parents' small businesses in the Scottish Highlands. Her early exposure to economics and investing sparked a lifelong interest in smaller companies. She discusses her career progression from stockbroking to fund management, emphasising her focus on UK micro-cap and smaller companies through Downing's IHT (Inheritance Tax) service. Judith explains the appeal of AIM-listed firms due to their tax benefits and potential for strong returns, highlighting a hands-on, diligent investment approach that mirrors private equity standards. She identifies three key types of companies she targets: value compounders, self-help businesses, and balance sheet leaders—mentioning Ramsdens, James Latham, and Flowtech as examples. Judith critiques the negative narrative around AIM, advocating for its role in supporting entrepreneurial growth and job creation. She expresses hope for a shift back to active investing and UK-focused capital deployment, especially in light of current global economic uncertainties and US-centric fund flows.  Judith's book choice was:Vassal State: How America Runs Britain by Angus HantonJudith's music choice was:Human by The KillersThis content is issued by Zeus Capital Limited (“Zeus”) (Incorporated in England & Wales No. 4417845), which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) for designated investment business, (Reg No. 224621) and is a member firm of the London Stock Exchange.

As usual, we cover lots of ground in this week's Q&A, including tax-free cash recycling, private medical insurance and Lifetime ISAs. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA10  00:57  Question 1 Dear Pete & Roger. I'm a long-time listener and love the podcast, especially more so since Roger joined back in season 21. I'm an additional rate taxpayer with income below the threshold for the tapered annual allowance. I have been contributing £45k to my workplace defined contribution pension via salary sacrifice for the last couple of years, and my effective tax relief rate on contributions is 47%. This coming April (2025) I will turn 55 and will be able to access my pension. I am considering increasing my salary sacrifice contributions by £14,000 per year and funding this by taking just under £7,500 PCLS (i.e. tax-free cash) from my pension. Having watched the MeaningfulMoney video on Tax-Free Cash Recycling and checked the HMRC web site, I know this is not considered tax-free cash recycling because the PCLS withdrawals will be below £7,500 per year. However, I don't know if sacrificing £7,500 of tax-free cash in return for £14,000 of new contributions will have any unintended consequences. In retirement I plan to withdraw money via UFPLS and use tax-free cash to minimise my effective tax rate and have no plans to use it to fund large purchases. Have I missed anything? Simon. 04:01  Question 2 Hi Pete, I hope you're doing well! I've been really enjoying the Meaningful Money podcast and had a question I'd love to hear your thoughts on the show: With the long waiting times on the NHS, is having private health insurance a new 'must have' protection or still a 'nice to have'? Thanks so much for your wisdom! And keep up the great work on the podcast! :) Best regards, Chloe 07:05  Question 3 Hi guys - thanks for all you do with this podcast. I've been incredibly fortunate to find you in my 20's and absorb so much useful knowledge. My question is surrounding LISA's. My fiancé and I currently live separately but we're looking to move in together ahead of our wedding this summer. She owns her own home and I currently rent so we'll be moving into her house. Our plan is to live for a couple of years in her (or soon to be our) house as she managed to secure a favourable rate that will help us to save together for our next home. The majority of my current house deposit (around £35k) is in a LISA, however in the last year or so I've quickly realised that our next home together will probably sit above the £450k limit that LISA's allow. Given that we live in a pretty expensive area and want to stay here, is there anything you would suggest? We've thought about me 'buying in' to her current house but we don't want to remortgage and lose the favourable fixed term. Any ideas? Cheers, Joe 11:38  Question 4 Hi Butch & Sundance, my question is about SIPPs & ISAs and tax implications when used with State Pension and a Defined Benefit Pension. I'm planning to retire 7 years before state retirement age (67) and plan to use a DB pension and SIPP in those 7 years. The annual income from the DB pension will exceed the current basic rate income tax annual allowance (£12,570) and withdrawals from the SIPP outside of the tax-free lump-sum, would all incur basic rate income tax. I would like to keep investments that continue to grow, but with the removal of some IHT benefits within a SIPP, is it now worth withdrawing more than I need each year and moving the SIPP investments to a Stocks & Shares ISA over the next 7 years and therefore reduce tax paid over the following 20-30 years from the age of 67? Or am I making more of minor issue than is needed? Keep up the excellent work, Jack 16:36  Question 5 Hi both, Love the podcast! I have a question regarding pensions. I have an employer (defined contribution) pension that had been with one provider (chosen by my employer) for the last 11 years. My Company has recently terminated the agreement and mine and my employers contributions are now all going to the new provider and fund. I chose not to transfer my original pension from the original provider to the new provider, as the existing fund had been performing so well. Following a review of both pensions over the last 6 months, I discovered that my existing pension had continued to be perform very well - over double the return compared to the new pension provider and fund). Whilst I understand I could switch funds with the new provider, my preference would be to do an annual transfer from my new pension fund & provider to the original provider and fund. I cannot seem to find any information on how to do this (all the information online is focused around transferring and shutting the new account - I don't want to do as my employer and personal contributions will continue to be directed to the new provider and fund. Thanks for your help, Matt 21:25  Question 6 Hi Pete and Roger I have a question about pensions for low earners. I have been listening to your show for the past year and loved the simplify and OS series, with your helpful explanations I have managed to get my self employed husband to increase his pension contributions, built up 6 months of emergency funds and have opened our first stocks and shares isa for long term savings. My question is about my pension contributions. I have about 13 years in an NHS pension from before I had children. For the past 8 years ( since the children were born) I have worked very part time or not at all so have not really made much in the way of pension contributions. I am currently 45 and I work seasonally for 4 months of the year. We live comfortably on my husband's income and as mine is irregular income it is not allocated to specific spending. My plan this year was to try and save all my income (about £7000) and contribute to a personal pension (a SIPP?) to catch up on my own pension contributions (I do have an employer one but it's very basic). My question is: if I pay into a personal pension will I still get tax relief added? As my earnings are below the personal allowance I don't pay income tax. I can only find information on the £2880 for none earners or employee pensions. Also how much of my income can I put in a pension? I.e. if I do get tax relief can I only put in 80% of my earnings?  Do I also need to subtract my work pension contributions? Thank you for all your amazing work. Best wishes, Lindsey

Welcome to another Q&A show. This week we cover moving abroad, inheritance tax and paying into a pension while drawing from another, and lots more besides! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA7   01:16  Question 1 I've been a long time listener for my entire working career and your podcast has been invaluable to getting me to the great position I'm in now. I have recently been offered a very exciting job opportunity abroad (specifically Luxembourg) and I'm thinking about financial issues I might want to cover. I am 29 and have a mid-five figure sum in each of my ISA, LISA, and DC pension in the UK. I hope to save and invest heavily abroad with a FIRE sort of philosophy. I wonder if there are any big things to think about in preparation for a move, or things to do while in the EU that will make a move back easier. I realise this is probably a complex question, and maybe too niche for a podcast episode. I've considered getting a one-off consultation with a financial advisor before my move, do you think this would be worthwhile, and if so what sort of service or green flags should I be looking for? (Assuming Jackson's is not a specialist in this area!) Thank you again! Stuart 06:24  Question 2 Hi Pete, Hi Roger, May I ask a question about pensions now being subject to IHT. My father in law's strategy for passing on his wealth was to pass on an unused pension, previously protected from IHT, and he had also invested in AIM shares, again also previously exempt from IHT but now subject to 20% tax. He is nearly 82. What options might you suggest for him to consider on either of those points, but in particular the pension point. Draw the pension and gift it? Thank you very much. Love the pod and religious listener! Jo 13:00  Question 3 Hi Pete and Roger, A great many thanks for all that you do towards simplifying personal finance principles. It is with thanks to your guidance that I am living within my means and on a budget with clear financial objectives. My question today is on behalf of a family member, let's call her Glynda. Glynda is 58 years old and intends to continue working until she can claim her full state pension. She currently has two private pension pots, one is a SIPP on the Vanguard platform and one is her workplace scheme with a smaller provider I've never heard of called Creative Trust. A few years ago, she chose to withdraw her 25% tax free cash allowance from her SIPP with a view to investing this in rental property. For one reason or another this didn't actually happen so she is now saving this aside as her 18 month cash buffer. To withdraw the 25% tax free cash, she had to “crystallise” the entire SIPP pot. The remainder is still invested in 100% equities - the growth engine as you say, but it is now in a flexi access drawdown account, not a pre-retirement pot. Meanwhile, the workplace scheme is growing nicely with contributions of around £3500/yr, which is not insignificant on her modest salary. This pension is not yet “crystallised” and is also aggressively invested through the limited fund selection on that platform. You have spoken at length about pensions but my question has not yet come up, though I appreciate it may be niche. If the SIPP has been crystallised and the Workplace scheme has not, can they still be combined? Does Glynda need to take her tax free cash from her workplace scheme BEFORE transferring/combining this scheme into her SIPP for ease of management? If she opts NOT to take the tax free cash before transferring, does she lose that option? What is the point of “crystallisation”? Why is it even a thing in a world of flexi access drawdown, it seems irrelevant to me. Do platforms charge different levels of fees post-crystallisation? If so, can Glynda transfer her crystallised SIPP to a new provider if savings can be made on fees. Many Thanks, Sam 19:48  Question 4 Hi Pete and Roger, I have been an avid listener to the podcast for a long time now, probably 5 years, what a journey! Thank you for all the content you put out. Pete; I think I read your book first which put me on to the podcast, or perhaps it was the other way around, I can't remember. I'm pleased to say that when I read your book, I then went through it with a fine toothcomb and ticked off everything I needed to do! Needless to say I've been in a good situation for a while now, thanks to you, your book and this podcast. I still use a Meaningful Money Budget Spreadsheet to plan my monthly finances! I did leave a review a good while ago on the app store letting you know how Meaningful Money has helped me! I have attached a picture of my copy of your book, hope you don't mind all the post it notes! My question is surrounding Emergency Funds and what criteria we should apply as to whether something is an “emergency?” Classic things such as a broken down car, a leak in the house or the boiler breaking down are all perfect scenarios for an emergency fund. But what about other more vague scenarios? This question has come about because of my current situation. I unfortunately have a toxic boss and work environment which is affecting my mental health. It's clear I need to leave the job, as my continued attempts to change the environment and my mindset have been unsuccessful. So, I am about to hand in my resignation, in the next few weeks and just go ahead and use my emergency fund, as this detriment to my mental health cannot continue. However, there's a strong feeling inside that this isn't really what an emergency fund is for. Particularly too, as I don't have a strong exit plan. I have no other job lined up, I just need to get out of there. So what do you think? Should the fund have strict rules as to what is, and is not an emergency? I suspect your answer will be that the holder of the emergency fund decides what is and is not an emergency. That being said if there isn't strict rules surrounding it, then it would be quite easy for someone to decide a night out on the ale is an emergency due to a stressful week! Or can the rules be more “fluid” and a night down the pub is acceptable? Sorry about the pun! I'd be interested to know your thoughts. Thanks again and I look forward to hearing your response! Many Thanks, Phil 24:36  Question 5 Hi Pete & Roger Thanks for all your podcast episodes - I've been listening for years and you've saved me a lot of money through not needing to pay an advisor (thanks to your free info) and not making expensive mistakes. I'm not sure if I'm your core demographic (33yo woman in London) but find all your content useful for me, my friends, brother and parents. My question: I co-own a flat and live in it. My friend owns the other half but doesn't live with me. We have a joint residential mortgage and also have to pay a £250pm service charge and ground rent as it's a leasehold with right to manage. It's a 35yr mortgage so we get about £200pm equity and pay around £800pm interest. It's a great flat but I want to move to a larger property in a different area, initially renting as it'll take quite a long time to sell the flat (for various reasons I won't go into!). If we rent the flat out and I go and rent elsewhere, I'll be making a loss on the flat (I'm a 40% taxpayer and the rental income would cover the mortgage + service charge + agency fees but I believe I'd have to pay tax on income not profit hence the loss). There's also insurance, council registration fee, maintenance etc. Obviously I'd then pay rental money to a landlord too for the house I move to. I know property taxes have changed in recent years and I'm very supportive of landlords being taxed on profits. However, my initial research suggests that professional landlords who buy property through companies only pay tax on (company) profits whereas I'd pay tax on revenue. I'd pay 40% vs them paying corp tax (25% ish?). Is my understanding right and is there any regulation or tax relief specifically for "accidental" landlords who are also renting a home themselves rather than having a big empire of properties as a business? Also how would the tax work for co-owners, would I just pay 40% tax on half of the rental income? My friend lives abroad in case that's relevant. I know there are a lot of accidental landlords due to cladding, relationship changes etc so am hoping the question is also useful for other listeners. Thank you! Emma 32:33  Question 6 Thanks for an excellent podcast - one of the best in the personal finance space. Around 6 years ago I inherited a low 6 figure sum which I put into a GIA. Each year I have made Bed & ISA transfers to diffuse any Capital Gains and to move more of my money into a tax shelter. As we have had a strong investment environment over this period I still have a reasonable balance in the GIA. Now the government has reduced the annual Capital Gains allowance to such an extent that I expect to be unable to defuse all of my Capital Gains each year. This will limit the amount I can Bed & ISA and I expect the GIA balance to start increasing compounding the issue. To be honest I don't think this will be an unusual position to be in as you will not require an unfeasible balance in a GIA to pay CGT on "gains" solely due to inflation. My current plan is to allow the above to happen by only utilising my annual CGT allowance and not paying CGT while I am working. My question is how CGT is charged in early retirement. Lets say I stop working at 55 and don't take my pension until 57 (earliest I can). I will have no income for two years so my Personal Allowance will be unused. In this case can I make £15,570 of gains in the year before CGT? Searching online I can only find information on Basic and Higher Rate GGT and not Nil Rate. Thanks, Simon 38:43  Question 7 Hi, Love the podcast. I have some questions about pension contribution limits and tax relief. My taxable employment income for 2024/2025 is around £30k. I already contribute to a workplace pension via salary sacrifice. The total amount paid in by my employer is £12k. I am using my full ISA allowance but still have savings and investments in a GIA, not sheltered from tax and would like to pay a lump sum into a SIPP before the end of the tax year. My questions are: What's the maximum I can pay in? Is it £30k or do I have to subtract my employer workplace contributions, so only 18k? I keep finding conflicting information online! If it's 30k, does this mean I actually pay in 24k? If it's 30k, would I receive government top up on all of it, even though I didn't pay tax on the first £12,570? Does the contribution to a SIPP actually reduce my taxable income? So if I contribute the full £30k (assuming I can) is my personal allowance then unused by employment? I have savings and investments income of around £10k from my GIA. Would this then fall inside my personal allowance and no tax be due? Thanks for any help you can offer. I'm so confused with all the information online! Thanks so much for the podcast - keep up the good work. Alison

We're back with another Q&A show, with a bit of a DB Pension tilt this time, though we even get into a question on equity release. We cover lots of ground, as always - hope it's useful! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA5  00:55  As you made a request for questions I thought I'd pose this (apologies in advance for the length, feel free to trim as required): I am single, mid-forties, with no dependents (I do have some family I plan to pass wealth on to, but when they need it rather than leaving it in my estate). I'm aiming for the mystical die with zero. As a home owner, and given I'm not worried about passing it on, would it be a good idea to start drawing on the capital locked up in my home via drawdown equity release (using say home reversion) before the investments in my pension and ISAs given this is the most illiquid and concentrated of my assets? Downsizing isn't really an option to release capital (it's a two-bed semi so property doesn't get much smaller). That said equity release looks to offer rates well below the market value (apparently they want to make a profit), certainly if you're on the younger end of the eligibility spectrum. It's far from the case of selling 50% of the house and getting that amount, even spread over a number of years. I could sell the house myself and rent instead, using the released money to pay the rent (and if the money is invested, provided my rent doesn't rise egregiously, it might even stay ahead of that cost). Though there are potential issues with that approach, certainly over the long term. Are there any other ways to unlock the capital tied up in my property? Regards, Lee   10:20  Hello Pete and Roger. I work in public sector and have a decent DB pension, larger part being final salary and lesser part CARE. I will be able to commute up to 25% with a commutation factor of about 24:1. Which will give me about £180,000 depending on when I leave. Upon retirement I will seek to move most into a 100% equities investment wrapper, I'm fairly happy with proportionate risk, as my DB pension will provide a life long index linked safety net, and I will also build a bit of cash ladder of declining risk. I have recently watched your ISA v Pension comparison with keen interest. It was fascinating to see that even though a pension is taxed, the tax relief going in, offset the tax going out, and the option of having both works particularly well in terms of tax efficiency and retirement planning. I had been putting a modest amount into a S&S ISA each month for the last few years, but recently opened a SIPP and am now sending the spare cash that way for the extra tax relief. It's very satisfying seeing the “free money” coming in each month.. I can potentially retire in 2 years at 55 with an actuarial reduction or continue working until 60, or retire sometime in between. I also have a preserved DB pension that I can take at 60 from a previous employer. In the mean time I want to keep saving and investing, and will try to ramp it up for next few years. My question is – It was pretty clear from your numbers that those with a DC pot are best with both ISA & SIPP in terms of tax efficiency and flexibility, but given that my DB pension will use up all my personal tax allowance, does that swing the momentum on where to invest back in favour of an ISA over a SIPP, as other than the 25% tax free element, I would pay basic rate tax on all my SIPP drawdown.  I'm sure other people with either a modest DB pension or secondary passive income could find themselves in similar quandary.  ( I'm aware all could change after the next budget. )   I live up north, houses are cheap as chips, therefore IHT unlikely to be a major concern in terms of decedents. Chris   16:47  Loving the sultry combination of the north and south tones! I've been listening to the podcast for several years now, and you've given me loads of practical tips that I've been able to take forward. However, I've recently received an ADHD diagnosis, and while I earn a good salary, my impulsivity often leads to overspending, and I'm finding it difficult to maintain control over my finances. I have a monthly planner that I check regularly with the bills, so they are ok, but on spending it is always difficult, and I often dip into credit card usage. I would really appreciate any advice or practical tips you could offer for someone like me, who struggles with impulsive spending with a disability. Things like “just don't spend money” just don't work! Are there any specific strategies, tools, or approaches that can help someone with neurodiversity, particularly ADHD, to manage their money more effectively? Thanks again for the amazing content you put out. Looking forward to any guidance you can provide. Best regards, Ian   22:53  My question / suggestion relates to listeners with Defined Benefit (DB) pensions. Although they're becoming rarer, there is still a sizeable minority of people who have DB pensions. I suspect the majority of them are (or have previously been) employees in the public sector – but they'll run to quite a high number. For instance, there are 1.5 million current employees in the NHS, half-a-million Civil Servants, half-a-million teachers, Police, Fire Fighters etc etc. Double that to allow for all the former employees, plus those with DB pensions in the private sector, and you're talking decent numbers. I've learned a lot over recent years from your Podcast, but there have been a number of occasions where you've alluded to the fact that financial planning advice might differ for folk with DB pensions. One example might be the topic of opening a separate SIPP (in addition to the DB pension) to supplement retirement income (or to fund early retirement) or to move money outside the person's estate. Another example might be the balance of ISA versus Pension: with some DB schemes, the benefit of “topping-up” is reduced compared with those in DC pensions. In many cases the employer isn't adding “free money” to your pot, so for many there may be more reason to lean towards ISA contributions. Another difference might be the topic of investment risk – if someone with a DB pension has a guaranteed inflation-proof income in retirement, might they be wise to consider higher risk investments? And certainly without the dreaded “profiling”. Another example (as alluded to earlier) might be in Estate Planning: with a DB pensions, there's no “pot” of invested money lying outside one's estate, so there's no IHT advantage. I realise this might amount to more than just a 5-minute topic for your Q&A edition, but I think you'd have enough listers to make a whole episode for DB pension recipients. What to you reckon? Thanks for all the great advice. Best wishes, Dr Pete   29:43  Thank you for all of your support over the years through the podcast and YouTube. I work for the NHS which is very tough at the moment but it does give me the benefit of a defined benefit pension when I get there. I am 35 years old but am wanting to make sure I am saving enough for retirement but also to make sure that I have enough for my children to support them through university and starting life! My wife is a fantastic stay at home Mum. We are aiming to have the “comfy” level of retirement at £58000 that you have previously mentioned which should give us some capacity to support the children! I earn £58000 plus about £7000 as a side hustle. I save into my NHS pension, save about 50% of the side hustle income into a SIPP, and save around £400 into a S&S ISA and £200 into cash savings each month. There are lots of examples about how much you should save but I haven't found anything when you are part of the NHS/other DB pension. Am I saving enough, or too much? I don't want to miss out on life now by over saving! Thanks, Alex   36:13  Enjoying listening to another excellent podcast where I heard the shout out for questions. One I had is “what's the best tax efficient way to save for kids futures? I started going down the path of saving into JISA's, but then didn't like the idea of being unable to access the money on their behalf, or them to do so before 18. I contribute to premium bonds, but theoretically that will be capped at £50k (here's hoping!). Any other obvious good suggestions?” Thanks & keep it up, continue to love the show. Cheers, Chris

Inflation's spell below the Bank of England's 2 per cent target has been brief and the latest CPI figure came in at a higher than expected 2.3 per cent. Meanwhile, Bank of England boss Andrew Bailey has joined the Office of Budget Responsibility in stating that the recent Autumn Budget is likely to lift inflation, as employers face higher costs from national insurance and the rising minimum wage.

Hundreds of thousands of disabled pensioners will be unfairly impacted by the cut in Winter Fuel Payment, according to two leading charities who've spoken exclusively to Money Box. Disability Rights UK and Age UK have both told us that disabled pensioners often have higher energy bills because of medical needs and sharp cuts to the number of people receiving the payment will disproportionally affect them more than others. The government says it's committed to giving pensioners the dignity and security they deserve in retirement but says given the state of the public finances its inherited it's right that it targets support to those who need it most. It says its protecting disabled pensioners through extra disability benefits such as Attendance Allowance, Disability Living Allowance and Personal Independence Payments. And that over a million pensioners will also continue to receive the Winter Fuel Payment and those on the full new State Pension will receive over £400 boost through the triple lock. How might the Chancellor target Inheritance Tax in the upcoming Budget?

Wealth Club investment manager Nicholas Hyett speaks with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the potential repercussions of removing inheritance tax (IHT) relief from AIM-listed investments. Hyett expressed concerns about the possible impact on the UK's ability to retain its fast-growing companies, highlighting that removing IHT relief could lead to both short-term market volatility and long-term valuation challenges. Hyett emphasised the importance of IHT-seeking investors in the AIM ecosystem, noting that these investors provide stability to maturing companies. “If you take away that investor base, you not only disrupt the whole flow of companies through AIM, but you also potentially make it a lot harder to raise money,” he explained. According to Wealth Club's research, non-IHT small company funds also play a vital role in supporting AIM, dispelling the myth that only wealthy, tax-focused investors would be affected by this policy shift. Hyett warned that reduced IHT relief could increase capital costs for AIM companies, further intensifying the risk of them relocating overseas. He also cited a recent downturn in AIM IPOs, partially attributed to this uncertainty. Summing up the potential damage, he stated, “I think it's inevitable… short-term volatility and long-term lower valuations.” For more insights into AIM's future, like this video, subscribe to Proactive's channel, and turn on notifications to stay informed about the latest financial market developments. #WealthClub #NicholasHyett #AIMMarket #IHTRelief #SmallCapInvesting #UKInvestments #MarketVolatility #InheritanceTax #AIMInvestors #FinanceInsights #ProactiveInvestors #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Prime Minister Kier Starmer says “thing will get worse”, warning of a “painful” October Budget.

However, the optimism is being tempered by concerns over potential tax hikes as the Labour Party hints at plans to raise Inheritance Tax (IHT), Capital Gains Tax (CGT), and even introduce a wealth tax. The surge in property listings can be attributed to homeowners looking to capitalize on the current market conditions before any potential tax changes come into effect. With interest rates remaining relatively low and demand for housing still strong, many are taking the opportunity to sell. However, the prospect of higher taxes under a potential Labour government is causing unease among property owners and investors alike.

Inheritance tax- punches above it s weight. It is paid by only a small minority of estates, yet manages to be Britain's most hated tax and its most controversial. Some believe it's immoral double taxation and should be axed altogether, others say crank it up - and somewhere in the middle there are many people who feel that taking 40 per cent is just too much. But it's also a tax that even those with an expensive home and plenty of savings can generally avoid if they choose, by spending more and giving more away in their lifetime. The problem is that they need to survive seven years or they may get caught by some very outdated gifting allowances. Yet, there is a little-known loophole that allows people to give away considerably more without worrying about the seven-year rule. On this podcast, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce, Simon Lambert look at inheritance tax and the surplus income rule. They discuss this trick to beat death duties and the catches it comes with and all the other rules surrounding IHT. Also on this week's show: noisy heat pumps, the British Isa meets its maker and our failure to support the high streets that we moan about dying.

Inheritance Tax: Basic Strategies for Your Estate

I Hate Numbers

We often consider inheritance tax one of life's unavoidable topics. Accordingly, we need to understand how it works and learn some basic strategies to minimise its impact. In this episode of the "I Hate Numbers" podcast, we explain what IHT is, how it applies, and share simple tips on planning effectively to avoid paying it.What is Inheritance Tax?Inheritance tax in the UK is a tax on the estate of someone who has passed away. It includes the property, money, and possessions left behind. When the value of the estate exceeds the "nil rate band" threshold of £325,000 per individual, we must pay IHT. However, if the estate value stays below this amount, we avoid paying inheritance tax. Any amount above £325,000 is taxed at 40%.Key Factors to ConsiderFirstly, we need to recognise that every individual has an estate. This estate may include your home, savings, shares, and personal items, all of which contribute to the total value. When someone passes away, we calculate the estate's value, and any amount over the nil rate band will be subject to IHT. However, we can take advantage of reliefs and exemptions to reduce the tax burden.Reduce or Avoid Inheritance Tax with PlanningTo reduce or avoid inheritance tax, we must plan ahead. One effective strategy is to make lifetime gifts. When we give gifts to beneficiaries and survive for at least seven years after, we ensure these gifts are exempt from inheritance tax. Moreover, leaving everything to your spouse or civil partner also helps avoid IHT and transfers your nil rate band. Additionally, we can make use of small annual gifts, like £3,000, which remain exempt from tax.ConclusionWhen we plan effectively, we can minimise or avoid inheritance tax altogether. We encourage you to act now to make informed decisions that will benefit your loved ones.

The Practical Protection Podcast

Hi everyone, I am talking about a very emotive topic today after being approached on social media as to how insurers view assisted dying. With recent debates on passing assisted dying laws in the Scottish and Isle of Man governments, it is something that is likely to be discussed by UK insurers at some stage.I have been very clear not to provide an opinion about whether assisted dying should and shouldn't be allowed, instead focusing on the facts of how the majority of life insurance policies in the UK would behave if a claim was made following someone choosing to die due to their health. At the end of the episode I include some details of support services that you can reach out to, if you have found the discussion difficult to listen to.The key takeaways:The majority of insurers in the UK offer life insurance with an initial 12 month suicide exclusion In Canada where assisted dying is possible, the insurers do not consider death through these means to be suicideIn countries where assisted dying is allowed physical and mental health conditions ca be viewed differentlyNext time I will be back and focusing upon protection insurance planning when you have an IHT liability. There's some specific do's and dont's that can make huge differences to how life insurance claims pay out.Remember, if you are listening to this as part of your work, you can claim a CPD certificate on our website, thanks to our sponsors Octo Members.If you want to know more about how to arrange protection insurance, take a look at my 13 hour CPD Protection Insurance in Practice course here and 1 hour CPD Protection Competency Exam here.

Rob talks about the potential introduction of inheritance tax and stamp duty cuts in the upcoming autumn budget, speculating on the impact these cuts could have on the housing market, with the possibility of stimulating demand and increasing prices.  KEY TAKEAWAYS There are rumours that inheritance tax and stamp duty cuts could be introduced in the upcoming autumn budget, which could potentially impact the housing market. The introduction of inheritance tax cuts could be beneficial for many individuals, as it can help avoid unexpected tax burdens. The potential cuts in stamp duty could stimulate the housing market by boosting demand and potentially increasing prices. However, the effectiveness of stamp duty cuts in stimulating the housing market may be limited due to other economic factors such as mortgage costs and legal fees. BEST MOMENTS "There's some murmurings at the moment, apart from David Cameron being back in office which has surprised a lot of people." "Inheritance tax cuts could be introduced... Sometimes you can get stumped by IHT without even realising." "Stamp duty cuts will be quite interesting if they were to happen... that could give the housing market a bit of a boost."

Israel and Palestine: A Political Solution

Speak, even when your voice shakes, and you feel like rage crying. This special episode provides greater historical context to Israel and Palestine, elevates voices on the frontlines of the humanitarian crisis, demands an immediate ceasefire and a united global democratic alliance to end the genocide of Palestinians, and amplifies the calls for a political solution.  The crisis cannot be solved militarily. The bombs raining down on the open air prison of Gaza is a genocide–another Nakba, the Arabic word for “catastrophe”–which in 1948 saw the brutal mass forced displacement of around a million Palestinians with the founding of Israel. We're witnessing the long awaited war by indicted corrupt criminal and Putin ally Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's longest serving prime minister, desperate to cling to power, even if that means turning Israel into another theocratic dictatorship in the region. The racist, genocidal movement that assassinated former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin for signing the Oslo Accords, a path towards peace and potentially a two-state solution, brought Netanyahu to power. And now his government of Stephen Millers is determined to finish off Palestinians, mass-murdering several thousands, including a significant number of children.  Secretary of State Antony Blinken published a call for a ceasefire on Twitter, only to delete it after Republicans protested. That and more of the US response, what it means for the civilians on both sides of the conflict, the US election and more are discussed in this extra furious episode. This week's bonus episode will include answers to questions submitted by listeners subscribed at the Democracy Defender level and higher, and a special on-the-ground look at the upcoming Virginia state elections and the recent voter-purge by Governor Glenn Youngkin.

I don't think I have ever been as nervous about interviewing someone in my entire career as I was when my former boss and colleague Suzy Menkes agreed to speak with me for this podcast. I worked side by side with Suzy for 16 years at the International Herald Tribune, which is now known as the International New York Times. Over that period she mentored me, encouraged me and guided me. Shaping my career as I moved from her assistant to fashion writer and finally the Online Style Editor of the IHT. During our time together we experienced so many amazing fashion moments, from the John Galliano, Alexander McQueen and Marc Jacob eras at Dior, Givenchy and Louis Vuitton, respectively, to watching first-hand the rise of LVMH, Gucci Group, Kering and the whole transformation of the fashion industry from artform to billion-dollar luxury business. Not to mention witnessing the debuts of iconic designers like Nicolas Ghesquière, Alber Elbaz, Phoebe Philo, Tom Ford, Stella McCartney, Alessandro Michele, Riccardo Tisci, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Pierpaolo Piccioli and the list goes on. Suzy's career as a fashion critic spans close to 60 years, starting with her college days at Cambridge where she was the first female editor of the university newspaper. But even before that, as a teenager, she moved to Paris to study at the fashion school that is now known as ESMOD. So her love of fashion as a visual expression of self and society runs very deep indeed. She started her true calling as a fashion journalist at the age of 24. Working under the watchful eye of Charles Wintour, the father of Anna Wintour, who would be an early mentor for Suzy. But Suzy came into full bloom as one of the most respected fashion critics in the world during her 26-year tenure at the International Herald Tribune. Her words were read in the pages of the daily newspaper by hundreds of thousands of readers around the world and eventually by millions once the internet was born. An audience that only expanded with the advent of social media and her turn as Condé Nast's International Vogue Editor, which saw her words being translated into different languages and her reviews posted on all of the international Vogue websites. She also was the mastermind behind the idea of the modern luxury conference, events that are now commonplace but were brought into being at the IHT, and later continued at Vogue, under her guidance. Suzy is renowned for her honest, fair and insightful writing, and her ability to put fashion into the context of a wider global narrative. Today she runs her own very successful podcast called Creative Conversations with Suzy Menkes, where she continues to interview the leading movers and shakers within the fashion industry. She is still asking the questions every fashion lover wants to know the answers to, but now I am lucky enough to be able to turn the tables on her a bit and ask her a few questions of my own.

It said that fiscal drag triggered by freezing the higher rate tax threshold would pull 7.8million people into its net by 2027. The study suggested that the threshold would have to be almost doubled from its current level, at £50,271, to almost £100,000 to return the tax band to the level intended for it. Alongside the report, came the IFS's warning that 40 per cent tax had stopped being the preserve of high-earning professionals and was now hitting electricians, plumbers, teachers, nurses and more. The taxman nabbing 40p of every pound earned from a pay rise rather than 20p comes at a time when workers are running to stand still, with inflation at just above 10 per cent. So, is it time the government stopped taxing by stealth and using tools like fiscal drag – instead raising thresholds with inflation or wages? And is it time to hike the higher rate threshold and pull people back down to basic rate tax? On this podcast, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert discuss the thorny issue of tax and who counts as wealthy. The debate moves on to inheritance tax – another levy designed for the very rich but now hitting the wealthy middle classes. Why is IHT so unpopular when most don't pay it and does it need reform? Plus, how much have you lost to inflation, will you get Nationwide's new £100 Fairer Share bung, and finally, would you buy food two years past its best before date for big savings?

This week we return to our series on the 9 Accelerators for a Successful Retirement for the final time – to discuss the really important topic of Staying on Track. Scroll down to find links to all previous episodes in this series. I spend a lot of time with clients helping them work out what they want their retirement to look like, building a financial plan to support that life, then structuring their assets to be as tax efficient as possible. I also work with them to create a legacy plan, combat IHT, plan how to fund care that might be needed in later life, and implement an investment strategy that will give them the best chance of success. But what then? To some degree, the most important work starts - helping my clients stay on track for a successful retirement. The plan is in place, but goals move, circumstances change, markets rise and fall (sometimes abruptly), and all the assumptions in our financial plan may have shifted. So Staying on Track means reviewing and updating the plans to reflect what's new. It also means helping clients to be disciplined and stick with their investment strategy, in spite of the market noise and what's going on around them.

On February 2, 1933 two men walked into the Central Police Station in Le Mans , France. Rene Lancelin and his son-in-law were there to report that they couldn't enter the Lancelin home on 6 rue Bruyere. Mr. Lancelin said that when he had tried to enter his home he had found the front door bolted closed, and, although his wife, daughter and their two housemaids were supposed to be at home, no one answered the door, despite his constant knocking and calls to them. But no one could have predicted the true horror inside.
