It's another packed and mixed bag of questions here on Meaningful Money. Today we deal with Seafarer's pension contributions, tax-free cash on DB pension schemes and annual allowance calculations. Plus we give some thought to the evolution of the show… Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA25    01:10  Question 1 Hi Pete and Roger Many thanks for all that you do.  I am a long time podcast listener and happy client of Jacksons. I am currently playing catch up on the current series and have a couple of thoughts on points raised in two episodes. In episode 3 - there was a question on pensions and the answer included the point that when making contributions to a scheme they are generally paid net and the scheme reclaims basic rate tax from HMRC.  Just to say that this is not always the case.  My employer recently moved its scheme to an Aviva master trust.  I wanted to make a lump sum co tribute. Ahead of the tax year end.  However I found that the scheme could only accept gross contributions and I would have to reclaim the tax myself.  As it was quite a decent sum and I preferred not to wait for the tax I made the contribution into a different scheme. In episode 7 you had a question about moving abroad.  The point we made that you can't continue to contribute to UK tax favoured schemes when abroad which is correct.  However there is another watch out in that ISAs in particular may be subject to income tax in the new country of residence - as they were when j lived in the US.  It is therefore critical to get advice so you can make the right choices when moving abroad All the best, Richard 05:06  Question 2 I have been listening to your podcast for the last 5 or 6 months. Like so many of your listeners, I have spent many hours catching up on your early episodes, no longer do I watch movies or drama series or wildlife programmes. I listen to Pete. Your advice has been priceless. However, I do have a question that I seemingly cannot find the answer to. Perhaps, I already know the answer, but am putting my head in the sand because I do not like it. I know that the pension tax free lump sum is limited to £268,275 and I believe that this applies to the total taken from multiple pensions. I retired from the police in 2013 as a chief inspector. I took the maximum lump sum available at the time which was £206,000. I started a new job with the NHS and am paying into the NHS 2015 scheme. My projection on retirement from the NHS at age 67 suggests that I can expect a lump sum that combined with my police pension lump sum will take me well beyond £268,275. I have seen some articles on line about lump sum protected allowances, but do not know if this is something I can access. Clearly, if all I can take from my NHS pension is £62,275 I will be paying 40% on a greater proportion of my pension in payment. I suspect there may be others like me that maxed our their lump sum when first retiring and have gone on to further employment and have built up a tidy pension that has the potential to pay out another handsome lump sum. Your advice is gratefully appreciated. Kind regards, John 11:25  Question 3 Hi Pete and Rog Always a delight when a new episode comes out – I hope Rog is getting fairly compensated for his efforts! I have been a keen listener for a number of years though until recently had lived outside of the UK, so while not everything was applicable (ISAs or pension contribution limits etc), the podcast has always been a valuable tool as I improve my personal finances I have a question I was hoping you could clarify for me which relates to questions you answered on previous podcast Q&A. Trying to keep it short but failing: On a couple of occasions when talking about pensions there seems to be an assumption that your income will fall in retirement and so income tax on the way out of the pension is less relevant. You recently had a question around moving money from a Lifetime ISA to a SIPP for a higher rate tax payer who was moving abroad and the calculation / discussion went something like: Invested 4k, got the extra 1k but have to take a 25% penalty when taking the money out so down to 3.75k. Then when investing that back into a SIPP you get tax relief so back up to 4.7k or even 6.25 with higher rate relief. Then the discussion seemed to suggest in such a case you might even be better off than if you had left it in the LISA. However, doesn't this depend on what your tax rate is on retirement / withdrawal? Now on to my question: Similarly, you had someone who had maxed out their annual pension contribution limit and they were trying to decide whether to pay more in to their pension (foregoing the tax relief) or to put it in to a GIA. This is a situation I find myself in and the Q&A discussion seemed to suggest it doesn't make much difference. There were comments that an ISA would be better than a GIA but assuming the ISA allowance was already fully used then there was little difference. This confused me and brings me to my question. If I overpay into a pension and so get no tax relief, don't I still pay income tax when I withdraw the money from the pension? So for any contribution above the annual limit I receive no tax relief initially (ie I have effectively paid tax) but then future withdraws from a pension are taxable so I pay tax again when I retire. Is this the case or is there some way the pension knows what proportion of the pot received tax relief and what proportion didn't? If no such split exists then surely a GIA is a far better option where I will only pay CGT on any growth in the investment (or income tax on dividends). Imagine a situation where there is no growth or dividends then in a GIA I take the initial money back out with no tax to pay, in the pension I still pay income tax on the withdrawal. What am I missing here? Kind regards, Matt 17:02  Question 4 Hi - love the podcast and really enjoying the Q&A series! Keep up the great work! I was hoping you can assist me. I have a pretty simple salary structure and lucky to earn annually (salary and bonus) around 190k. I'm looking at what I can add to my pension and very aware of the 60k limit and also the 200k income threshold. Is it as a simple as if my only income stream is from employment, that by definition in the above scenario I'm below the £200k. Or am I missing anything else that feeds into this as a consideration? Thanks, Steve 20:20  Question 5 Thank you Pete & Roger for an amazingly insightful informative podcast. This has given me a giant springboard to the next level of financial literacy. My question is: I am a seafarer and all of my income from it is subject to seafarers earnings deductions (SED). My annual salary is £79,000. How much can I pay into a SIPP claiming the full amount of tax relief given that all of my income is subjected to SED? Thanks very much for everything you do. Kind regards, Benjamin 24:00  Question 6 Absolutely love the podcast - always look forward to driving home on a Wednesday so I can listen to it. I'm 47 and my husband is 55 and we have 2 fabulous children aged 13 & 11. I am an additional rate taxpayer and have a good DB pension for the future (NHS consultant). My husband did the tougher job of being a full time Dad so only has a small SIPP at present worth about £50,000 which we add £2880 to each year. I am hoping to retire early so we are building our Stocks & Shares ISAs each year to bridge the gaps between my retirement and state pension etc although we don't use the full allowance at present although may do in the future as my pay increases. We just wanted advice about the best way to extract the money from my husbands SIPP. He works a few hours now making approximately £5000 per year so is a non-taxpayer (and all our emergency cash is in his name!). We had planned to start drawing down his pension in a few years once fully retired to try to get it all tax free before his state pension kicks in but we don't actually need the cash and thus it would be reinvested into his ISA. Is there any reason not just to start that process now so we put the money in the ISA gradually over the next few years (bearing in mind that we may be able to fill our ISAs in the future)? Can we still top up with £2880 each year one this process has started? Maybe this sounds like an obvious thing to do but just can't work out if its the correct path? Thanks so much, Ciara Mulligan   30:10  Podcast and Video plans.  

It's another Q&A, and this week' we're talking Lifetime ISA withdrawals, whether you need life insurance and the NHS pensions scheme, among other things! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA8  01:08  Question 1 I just wanted to start by thanking you so much for your podcast. I'm probably one of your younger listeners, having started listening to you when I was 26. I feel very fortunate to have discovered your podcast at such a young age, as it means I will hopefully have years, if not decades, to put your excellent advice into practice. I have a quick question that I was hoping you could help me with. I currently have a LISA that I was planning to use as a deposit for a house. However, I am now planning to move to Australia permanently with my Aussie fiancée. I have separate savings that I can use for a deposit now, but since ISAs are not recognised in Australia while UK SIPPs are, would it be wise to take the 25% hit by withdrawing the money from my LISA and transferring it into a SIPP to benefit from higher rate tax relief and continued tax advantages? I understand you cannot offer specific advice, but I would be interested to hear if there are any general pitfalls or advantages in this plan that I should be aware of. Many thanks! Simon   04:40  Question 2 Will try to keep this brief but is challenging. Do we need life insurance? If I die whilst employed my wife gets a lump sum which will cover our only debt the mortgage through my DB pension scheme. If I retire aged 60-65 my lump sum will cover any mortgage remaining if still have one. My wife has no such pension / cover if she were to die (currently between jobs). I have emergency fund / Overpay into pension for tax relief & child benefit purposes / and recently opened stocks and shares ISA for myself and  2 children. Age 39 trying to build for future but started late :) Many thanks Lee   09:55  Question 3 Many thanks for all the ongoing information and discussion, I've been listening for years, but still learning and trying to put into practice all positive behaviours (just like with diet and exercise, knowing and doing are rather different!). A question and a thought. Question; (apologies, after I typed it, it turned out to be very long and NHS specific so feel free to ignore, but I think the point about revising tax returns after submission when new info comes is more generally applicable). I'm in the NHS pension scheme and am awaiting my RPSS after McCloud judgement. They were due by October. It's November and I haven't had mine (many others say the same). I believe they are prioritising those with who have definite AA charges and I doubt my NHS figures trigger that as I was part time for much of the relevant period. However, I also contributed to a private pension every year, the amounts varied, but were usually calculated quite closely using the AAPSS that I had at the time to maximise residual allowances - so basically I think I may now have Annual Allowance issues that I didn't at the time, but am not being prioritised by the NHS pension scheme for a new statement because they don't know about my extra contributions. Added to this I have already submitted my 23-24 tax return before I realised there might be a problem. Others have added a comment to theirs essentially saying ‘watch this space for more information' and apparently have 12 months to amend them once their RPSS arrives. So, the question is, can I still change my tax return (submitted on behalf by my accountant if that's relevant) if new information becomes available after Jan 31st (or even in the new tax year)? Do you have any advice for those waiting documents from the NHS pension scheme or insider knowledge re. Timescales for remaining documents? Anja   13:28  Question 4 Thank you so much for an amazing podcast! My question… After 7 years of a long distance relationship, I'm  talking to my partner about moving in together. Apart from checking your significant other listens to the podcast (mine does - phew) what are the most important areas to cover when thinking about joint finances, particularly if you haven't talked much about money before? Thank you! Elizabeth   19:07  Question 5 Hi Pete and Roger! Thank you so much for the show. I've been listening for the past 6 years and have gone from saving for a house to learning about pensions and now actively pursuing building my pension and ISA pots so that I can be ‘work optional' as soon as possible (hoping to be there in 5 years and would not have known where to even start if it wasn't for your podcast). My question is how does the actual mechanics of drawing down from a pension work? Is there an equivalent of PAYE for pension draw downs? How is income tax calculated and collected? Would a tax return need to be done? Thanks so much!! Gavin   24:07  Question 6 I am approaching the Lifetime Allowance (used 91.43%) but my Armed Forces Pension tax-free amount I received was less than the 25% for the amount of LTA used ( 58.96%). I have a Transitional Tax Free Allowance Certificate to ensure I am still able to receive the maximum tax-free amount (£268,275).  I have currently received £168,932.69 as a tax-free amount.  In order to realise the maximum tax-free amount I will need to exceed the LTA by £259,143.76. Finally, I am still able to max out my contributions each year at £60,000 to help reduce my tax bill. If I continue to max out my contributions each year and exceed the LTA to realise the tax-free amount, what are the implications of this or should I consider paying the money into other investment accounts? Regards, Martin  

Thousands of people have made complaints to the Energy Ombudsman related to so-called back billing, which is when customers are sent new bills for energy use longer than 12 months prior. The practice was banned by the regulator Ofgem in 2018 but is still causing consumers problems. In the cases investigated by Money Box customers had to complain multiple times before their suppliers recognised they'd broken these rules and cancelled the bills. Ofgem says it's committed to reviewing billing practices while the trade industry body Energy UK says suppliers are continuously working to improve practices.Is the Lifetime ISA fit for purpose in 2025?

Many young people saw the Lifetime ISA as their ticket onto the housing ladder. But with soaring property prices and a rigid price cap, thousands are now facing unexpected penalties - some are losing thousands in government withdrawal fees.

On this week's AJ Bell Money & Markets podcast, we dive into a story about seven investment trusts under attack from an activist investor. The big retail companies have started to report on Christmas trading and not everyone is smiling about the outlook. You can also hear about the changing cost of keeping the lights on at home and why the Lifetime ISA is under review. There's been a sell-off in UK government bonds and the pound, causing jitters on the market at the start of the new year. Dan Coatsworth explains what's going on. [00:02:06] Hedge fund Saba Capital has got its sights on the UK investment trust sector and wants to get behind the driving seat of seven names including Baillie Gifford US Growth Trust and Herald Investment Trust.

[00:23:09] Charlene considers the reasons why the Government has announced a review of the Lifetime ISA and what might happen next. [00:35:29] Finally, Danni Hewson chats to Dominic Weller, fund manager of the Octopus UK Future Generations Fund, about whether investing for change can also come with chunky returns now that interest rates are slowly on their way down.

On this week's episode, Charlene Young and Laith Khalaf talk you through the impact on business of rising National Insurance and minimum wage bills. Plus labour market data for the period to September showed us the gloomy reality for businesses before the Budget as stalling investment and hiring plans fueled rising redundancies and unemployment. The Bank of England voted 8-1 to cut interest rates last week but forecasts published alongside the announcement give us an insight into just how inflationary the bank thinks Rachel Reeves' Budget will prove, and the likelihood of her achieving her pledge of ‘growth, growth, growth'. Dan Coatsworth interviews Jack Caffrey from the JP Morgan American Investment Trust for his take on the US election and why the market reacted like it did to that Donald Trump victory. To continue our US theme, Laith looks at how some of those early “Trump Trades” have fared in the last week as the Trump starts to appoint his trusted team with some familiar names. Bitcoin gets a double mention – not only has it been breaking records but a UK pension scheme has announced it will be allocated 3% of its assets to diversify its investment base, in a break with tradition in the pension space. It's also looking like a record year for flows into Exchange Traded Funds. What are ETFs are what has made them so popular? On the other side of the coin, we look at outflows from Fundsmith Equity and why first-time buyers might find the frozen Lifetime ISA property limit locks them out of their dream family home.

Rob looks at the upcoming general election in the UK and its potential impact on the property market, focussing on the issue of rising house prices outpacing wage increases, making it difficult for many to afford homes. He delves into the promises made by political parties regarding housing, such as building more homes and overhauling the planning system. However, the lack of concrete plans and the turnover of housing ministers in recent years raise concerns about the effectiveness of these promises... KEY TAKEAWAYS Housing market facing challenges with high demand and limited supply leading to increased prices. Lifetime ISA limit of £450,000 since 2017 may need to be increased to align with average house prices. Both major parties, Labour and Tories, have pledged to build 300,000 new homes a year but have not outlined specific plans to fix the housing market. Expectations of a rate cut in August for cheaper mortgage rates may not materialise as interest rates are predicted to rise due to inflation. BEST MOMENTS "It's important to look at what is likely to be said in the manifestos, but also how that could then potentially impact housing in general." "One thing that various people have brought in over the years is the Lifetime ISA. And that has helped people to contribute to purchasing a home." "Overhauling the planning system, again, that's been in the pipeline, I think, for a very, very long time, no matter who's been in charge." "Too many rail ministers and you wonder why things aren't really progressing at all." "Don't fall for the promises. Don't fall for all that mumbo jumbo. In a nutshell, the supply of housing needs to be dramatically increased."

On this week's AJ Bell Money & Markets podcast, Danni Hewson and Charlene Young dig through the latest UK inflation figures and bring you up to date on market reaction to central bank rate decisions. They also chat about Unilever's decision to spin off its ice cream empire, Nvidia's continued moves to dominate the AI sector and the Chancellor's comments that the pension triple lock will need to be looked at again after the next election. Dan Coatsworth gives us a sneaky peak into what's in the baskets of ISA millionaires as well as where investors have been investing their ISA money over the past few months. Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust is always a firm favourite in ISAs but it's had a tricky run of late. Danni chats to deputy manager Laurence Burns about why he feels it has turned a corner.  Laura Suter gets out her spreadsheet to show how a Lifetime ISA can help first-time buyers shave years off the slog to get a house deposit together. With some parents about to get a child benefit windfall thanks to the raising of high-income thresholds, Charlene explains how a Junior ISA can help you turn that into a chunky nest egg for your kids.

April will ring in the beginning of a new tax year so you may have noticed that there's a lot of talk about ISAs. But what are they and might they be useful for you? Here to help us understand a little bit more is Legal & General's ISA Product Manager, Fahad Ahmed. Fahad and our host Kia Commodore chat through the different types of ISAs for saving and investing your money, how the Lifetime ISA can help you get on the property ladder, what to consider when choosing a provider and the changes in this new tax year. You can play the podcast and find other useful content on Legal & General's website: https://www.legalandgeneral.com/podcasts/a-little-bit-richer You can find out a little bit more about ISAs on Legal & General's website: https://www.legalandgeneral.com/investments/stocks-and-shares-isa/guides/investing-for-beginners/ Kia and her guests share their own personal thoughts and opinions in this podcast. These might be different from Legal & General's take on things. They give financial guidance for a UK audience that's relevant at the time of recording. It's general best practice, not the kind of personalised advice you'd get from a financial adviser.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For almost 10 years, the Help to Buy scheme proved incredibly successful in helping over a quarter of a million borrowers across the UK to buy a home. But, with this scheme now having ended in England and Scotland, this leads to the question of what – if anything – can replace it. In the latest episode of Barclays Mortgage Insider podcast, host Phil Spencer is joined by Mobeen Akram, New Homes Director at the Mortgage Advice Bureau and Mitch Atkins, director at Michael Usher Mortgage Services as they delve into the history of Help to Buy, why it worked, why it ended, alternative buying schemes and the challenges facing young house buyers. The conversation also highlights some of the government-backed and private schemes currently available to help first-time buyers, including Lifetime ISA's, the First Homes Scheme and shared ownership. It also touches on individual mortgage products such as Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor, the increasingly prominent role being played by the Bank of Mum and Dad, intergenerational lending and the Barclays Springboard mortgage. So, what might replace Help to Buy in the future? This episode was recorded on 24th October 2023 prior to the Autumn Statement and the latest Bank of England base rate decision. Mortgage Insider is a Fresh Air Production for Barclays created by Julie-Anna Needham and Annie Day with Helen Carter and Sophie Devonport from Barclays. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Subscribe to our newsletter to receive our weekly bulletins and stay ahead of what is shaping the super prime property market.UK mortgage rates are poised to decrease as banks react to waning inflation, yet caution arises with anticipated interest rate hikes. Brokers advise against expecting rapid reductions, considering the Bank of England's outlook. While some banks cut rates up to 0.61 percentage points on fixed mortgages, sustained cuts are uncertain, with rates predicted to rise next month due to wage growth. Swaps markets project a year-end UK interest rate peak of 6%, down from July's 6.5%. In this fluctuating landscape, long-term strategies and prudent decisions gain importance.Property ownership hurdles persist for youth without parental aid. Despite stamp duty holiday benefits, soaring prices undermine deposit savings. A Zoopla survey reveals 40% of under-40s shelving homeownership dreams, even among those earning £60,000+. Rising expenses impede deposit growth. Strategic saving, exploring options like Lifetime ISA, shared ownership, and joint mortgages, can assist aspirants. Expert counsel and thorough planning are vital for success. Innovative strategies, like one spouse purchasing to bypass second home stamp duty, have limitations. Law deems both spouses joint buyers, liable for 3% if either owns two properties. Replacing a main residence within 36 months brings a 3% rebate. London's new-build market sees luxury units lure global buyers, yet mid-market oversupply yields homogeneity. Challenges aside, diligent research and understanding market intricacies foster opportunities. Mortgage borrowers gain by overpaying, curbing the term and interest. With expiring fixed-rate mortgages, homeowners explore overpayments due to rate hikes. They boost debt reduction, enhance ratios, and secure better rates. Prudent caution keeps emergency funds intact, prioritizing costly debts before overpaying. Compare mortgage rates to high-yield returns. Lenders cap annual overpayments at 10% for fixed deals. 

With some uncertainty in the banking world, Martin talks you through how safe your savings are and how to make the most of the savings you have. Martin also answers your questions including ‘What is better: a Help to buy ISA or a Lifetime ISA?' and ‘What should I do with my inheritance?' and you ‘tell us' about the strangest thing you've ever paid for… Plus some podcast exclusive tips on how to get a discounted family pass for National Trust sites and how you can get your hands on a free baked potato and beans!

Last week, the Bank of England announced an interest rate hike of 0.25%, which will have a significant impact on the UK property market. The change will impact mortgages, remortgages, and first-time buyers, and it comes just in time for the last day of the Help to Buy scheme. Join me online on my free live training Wednesday at 8.00PM. Places are limited, so register now below to avoid disappointment. https://bit.ly/3QPp8IH Money Tips Podcast guest, Miriam Nawagamuwa CeMAP, Mortgage and Protection Advisor with Larkin Financial Services Ltd gives her expert views on the mortgage market. Fixed-rate mortgages will remain unaffected by the interest rate hike, which is good news for those who have locked in their mortgage rates for a fixed period. However, for those who are looking to remortgage, this could mean an increase in monthly payments. Watch YouTube Video Podcast Version: https://youtu.be/iRrL3GRY3-8 The Bank of England's interest rate hike is a response to rising inflation, which has been fuelled by increasing energy costs and supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic. The aim is to curb inflation and stabilize the economy, but the move could also affect property prices. The Nationwide just announced the largest fall in house prices since 2009 and said that prices were down 3.1% on March 2022. Higher interest rates mean that mortgages will become more expensive, which could lead to a decrease in demand for properties. This could result in a slowdown in the property market, as potential buyers may become more cautious about making big financial decisions. The end of the Help to Buy scheme is also significant for first-time buyers. The scheme has helped many people get onto the property ladder by offering government-backed equity loans. From the 1st of April 2023, the scheme will come to an end, which means that first-time buyers may find it harder to get on the property ladder. One alternative option for first-time buyers is the Lifetime ISA, which is a tax-free savings account that can be used to buy a first home or used after age 60 for retirement. The account allows savers to put away up to £4,000 per year, and the government will top up the account with a 25% bonus - £1,000. In summary, the Bank of England's interest rate hike will impact the UK property market in several ways. Fixed-rate mortgages will remain unaffected, but remortgages, tracker and variable rate mortgages, as well as first-time buyers will be hit.  The end of the Help to Buy scheme could also make it harder for first-time buyers to get onto the property ladder. As always, it's essential to seek professional advice before making any financial decisions in the current climate. Need more help with your money, finances or debt?

Tony talks about the erosion that occurs in your savings with the current inflation rates and how you can benefit from tax relief in the coming year.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Tax efficiency is a key consideration when investing because it can make such an enormous difference to your wealth and quality of life. One way to avoid tax is to contribute to an individual savings account (ISA) and take advantage of up to £20,000 tax free with a stocks and shares ISA. A cash ISA allows you to earn interest on your savings without having to pay any tax on interest earned. Junior ISA are for those under 18 without a trust fund account. Up to £9000 can be put in a Junior ISA and can be used for a wide range of purposes such as education or training costs.         BEST MOMENTS ‘The type of investment and tax efficiency that you should be looking at will depend firstly on whether your priority is to save a lump sum for the future or to draw an income today.'  ‘Not only will your investment grow tax efficiently, you'll also benefit from the potential for capital gains. ‘Another option is a Lifetime ISA or LISA. If you are looking to save for retirement or to buy your first home you may also want to consider opening a LISA. With a LISA you can save up to £4000 in the current tax year. The government will add out to 25% to any savings held in a LISA up to a maximum of £1000 a year.'  ‘If you earn over £100,000 making personal pension contributions can be highly advantageous.'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Tony Talks Wealth - https://omny.fm/shows/tony-talks-wealth   Sign Up Now For Exclusive Tony Talks Wealth Content at https://www.patreon.com/TTWealth     ABOUT THE HOST Tony Thomas is a published author, one of the top financial advisers in the UK voted for by his clients, the first Chartered Financial Planner in the UK, Independent Financial Adviser, Mentor, Trainer.

Rob & Rob are back with more listener questions and wow, we've got some cracking ones for you this week.  Getting us started is Ben.  Ben is currently looking to purchase his second buy-to-let, but after completing a survey on the property, he's been told that there's around £11,000 worth of repairs needed on some damp and the roof.  What Ben would like to know is, does this give him the chance to renegotiate the purchase price?  The original offer was a good one and slightly over market value, but with the potential cost of work hanging over his head, he's thinking that what started off as a good deal, will become a bad one.  Should he try and knock the costs off the purchase price?  Next up we've got a question from Alex.  After listening to the podcast, Alex and his wife first took the plunge to invest back in January 2020 and they're currently completing on their fourth. Today they're hoping Rob & Rob can help them with the sticky situation they've found themselves in.  We all know that inflation is on the rise, and with what Alex has been hearing on the podcast, he's wondering if now's the time to pull out of his ISA.  He's currently got 10K in a Lifetime ISA that has an interest rate of 0.85%, which, thanks to inflation, means he's actually losing money.  Alex wants to know whether he should pull out his money, lose the 25% the government have topped it up with, leaving him with 7.5K or if he should just stick with it because the government contributions make it worthwhile?  Tune in to find out advice the guys have got this week.  Do you have a buy-to-let or property investment related question for Rob & Rob? You could feature on the next episode by giving us a call on 013 808 00035 and leaving a message with your name and question (normal UK call rates apply).   Or if you prefer, click here to leave a recording via your computer instead.  The next question on Ask Rob & Rob could be yours.   Have you joined us over on the Property Hub Forum yet?

This week, Laith Khalaf brings us the latest markets news, including markets bouncing on potential Ukraine peace talks and Barclays taking a £450m hit to profits. Laith and Laura Suter also crunch the numbers on how much Rishi Sunak's tax changes are actually going to cost you over the next few years. We also discuss Neil Woodford's former protégé Mark Barnett making a return to fund management, after a year out. And Laura looks at a new savings account that actually pays an interest rate above 1% – but there's a catch. Also on this episode, Dan Coatsworth has an interview about how the energy price cap and Russia/Ukraine crisis has impacted the energy industry. And finally, Laura and Tom Selby have a Lifetime ISA special, answering all of your questions about the end of the tax year. 

It's the time of year when we are urged to put our money into an Isa or pension, but faced with the choice which should you pick? After all, most of us don't have the £52,000 needed to max out both (£20,000 into an Isa and £32,000 into a pension plus the £8,000 tax relief added). So, we must make a decision: take the upfront tax relief of a pension and that lovely boost to the money you pay in, but not be able to get the cash until at least age 55, or opt for the tax-free gains of an Isa and its flexibility, but no contribution booster. On this podcast, Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert look at the perks of each, where the drawbacks are and how you can make an informed decision. Plus, is the Lifetime Isa a better option for your hard-earned cash? Also, on the show, they discuss the child benefit mess and how many mums are missing our on vital state pension credits, whether Chase's bank account is now Britain's best, and how to work out if buying an expensive electric car might save you money.

Ato from @savvywallet and I discuss getting on the property ladder as a first time buyer We talked about the two key elements - the mortgage and the deposit. For both the mortgage and the deposit the best thing you can do is to increase your income. This means you can get a larger mortgage and also save quicker for the deposit. Throughout the podcast we also share other tips such as budgeting and buying your first house with someone else. We also go through the Help To Buy ISA and Lifetime ISA and talk about which government scheme is better. As well as ending on talking about gifted deposits, which can be another useful tool to help you get on the property ladder.
