From April water bills for millions of households in England and Wales will go up by record amounts. Exactly how much more you'll pay will depend where you live but, on average, bills will increase by more than £10 per month meaning a total average cost of over £600 a year. What can you do if you're struggling with those bills?There's just a month left for people in the process of buying a home in England and Northern Ireland to complete the sale before stamp duty rises on April the first. Some estimates suggest there could be tens of thousands of buyers who will miss that deadline by just a few days. What can you do if you're trying to hit that deadline?Train fares in England and Wales will go up on Sunday. At the same time, most railcards, which give you cheaper fares in England Wales and Scotland, will cost you more. We'll have more on that.And energy prices will also go up in April. We'll take a look at the issue of standing charges. Why do they vary regionally, and how might Ofgem's proposals to reform them work?Presenter: Paul Lewis Reporters: Dan Whitworth and Haider Saleem Researchers: Eimear Devlin and Jo Krasner Editor: Jess Quayle(First broadcast 12pm Saturday 1st March 2025)

As Victoria's housing market continues to grapple with rising rents and dwindling rental stock, the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) has issued a timely and urgent plea: reduce the tax burden on rental providers and stop penalising those who are keeping the rental market afloat.  But instead of heeding the call, the Allan Labor Government is doing the opposite—hitting landlords, small business owners and short-stay providers with wave after wave of new or higher levies in a desperate bid to plug a $188 billion black hole in the State Budget. This week, the REIV released a submission ahead of the 2025–26 Victorian Budget urging major property tax reform.  Their request is simple but critical: reduce stamp duty and land tax for rental providers, create incentives for long-term leases, and rein in red tape that's pushing investors out of the market.  Their data shows the consequences of government inaction are already being felt. Between March and September 2024, Victoria lost 24,000 rental bonds. That's not a minor fluctuation—that's a mass investor exodus. And it's tenants who are victims. REIV CEO Kelly Ryan summed it up perfectly: “At the heart of our submission is the need to ensure a more balanced tax and regulatory regime that includes adequate incentives for rental providers.”  Ryan also called for alignment with international rental markets by supporting longer-term leases, which would benefit both renters and investors with added security and certainty. But while the REIV is offering sensible, balanced reform ideas, the Victorian government is proving once again that it's more interested in cash grabs than meaningful solutions.  Since 2023, we've seen an aggressive ratcheting up of land taxes, the introduction of new taxes, an ongoing expansion of compliance obligations, and now—another levy, this time under the guise of funding emergency services. From July, landlords will be hit with a higher version of the new Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund levy—effectively replacing the old Fire Services Levy but applying higher rates to landlords than to owner-occupiers.  This comes on top of the 7.5 per cent short-stay accommodation tax that began in January and a land tax regime that's already the most punitive in the country. The state's land tax threshold was quietly dropped from $300,000 to $50,000, dragging hundreds of thousands of everyday Victorians—including Airbnb hosts, home-based businesses and retirees—into the tax net for the first time.  These aren't major corporations. These are teachers renting a room on Airbnb, retirees running consulting businesses from a home study, and families listing a property while working overseas. According to tax experts at Mills Oakley, even earning just $30,000 from a garage-based side business can now trigger a tax bill that previously didn't exist. The State Revenue Office is retrospectively combing through tax records, hitting unsuspecting homeowners with bills going back five years.  This is not reform—it's a cash grab. And its brutal for ordinary people who are trying to find ways to pay their bills. And what's the government's response? Treasurer Jaclyn Symes—who insiders say had to be asked to avoid using “economic terms” in briefings because she “doesn't understand them”—has arrogantly stated that landlords “can afford to pay more.”  That's the level of economic sophistication we're working with. Look up the term “out of touch” and you'll see a photo of Jaclyn Symes. The real-world consequences are clear. Property investors are selling up, thereby reducing rental stock, and those who remain are compelled to pass on these increased costs to tenants.  As rental supply falls, prices climb. Some renters are now facing $200-a-week increases, according to Suburb Advice. And yet the Victorian Treasurer remains oblivious, insisting it's fair and necessary. Meanwhile, short-stay hosts and home-based business owners are also feeling the squeeze.  Luke Achterstraat from the Council of Small Business Organisations said: “This cynical ‘bottom of the barrel' approach to revenue raising will only punish mum and dads seeking to innovate and provide their families a living.” It's no surprise that Victoria has recorded a 12.8 per cent decline in rental stock over the last decade. Investor confidence has been shattered by a decade of anti-landlord policies, with no sign of relief on the horizon. What we're seeing now isn't just short-term economic mismanagement—it's a structural dismantling of the private rental market. The Allan Government talks a big game about affordability, supply and fairness, but their actions tell a very different story.  Every new tax, every additional compliance cost, and every ideological jab at rental providers pushes Victoria further from the housing targets outlined in its own Housing Statement.  

Throughout the past three or four years of government discussion but little action on the housing shortage and the rental crisis, the people who provide the homes that people rent in Australia have never been part of the discussion.   Many of our state and territory governments have held inquiries, summits and other talkfests inviting many of the usual suspects but landlords have never been invited to the table.   In one state, at least, that has now changed. The new state government in Queensland is showing increasing signs of recognising that investor owners of residential properties are a core part of the solution to the chronic rental shortage crisis.   The organisation that represents investment property owners, the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (or PIPA) recently held a business breakfast seminar in Brisbane and State Treasurer David Janetski accepted an invitation to attend and answer questions.   That in itself was a step forward for investors but also for tenants who rely on investors to provide rental homes – keeping in mind that well over 90% of all homes rented in Australia are provided by mum-and-dad investors, with government and big business providing very little.   Janetski pointed out that he and his colleagues were instrumental in preventing the previous Labor Government from implementing the nation's most draconian and onerous land tax.   And having taken office as the new Queensland government had already abolished stamp duty for first home buyers building new homes.   He told the PIPA audience: “It's important for the state to recognise the contribution that the property industry makes.”   He undertook to connect PIPA with Housing Minister Sam O'Connor to hear the industry's concerns about the imbalance between the rights of tenants and the rights of the property owners.   Janetski also pointed out that the new Government had reinstated the Property Consultative Committee, which had been axed by the previous government.    He said: “We are listening” and commented that the language from the previous government about investors and property managers was disrespectful.   PIPA president Nicola McDougall said: “That's all we are asking for – a seat at the table.”   During the event's Q & A, I pointed out to the State Treasurer that the average cost of the new house and land package was now approaching $1 million and over 40% of that was taxes fees and charges at the three levels of government. I asked what could be done about that.   He said he understood the concerns but he also had to balance the budget, against a background of a blowout in the cost of infrastructure projects, smaller GST revenue and reduced coal royalties.    The inference is that, while sympathetic, the Queensland Government is unlikely to take any major measures to relieve the tax burdens that are preventing the housing industry from fixing the housing crisis.   But I would ask the Queensland Treasurer to consider this: what would happen if Queensland was the only state to eliminate a major chunk of the taxation component of building new homes? What if building a new home became $200,000 cheaper in Queensland than everywhere else?   What would that do to the state economy and to the Queensland State Budget? And what would it do to home ownership in the Sunshine State?  

The price of precious metals like gold, sliver and platinum have soared in price in the last 12 month amid market fears and rising inflation. Why Invest in Gold and Silver? See full video - https://youtu.be/or-8kiTZZxM See my interview with Josh Saul, gold expert, discussing the merits of including precious metals in your portfolio. Click here https://pure-gold.co/charles-kelly for a free gold, investment report, and discovery call. In the ever-evolving landscape of investment opportunities, the age-old appeal of precious metals like gold and silver remains steadfast. Investors are often confronted with a myriad of choices, ranging from the digital allure of cryptocurrencies to the stability of stocks and the tangibility of real estate. In this comparison, we explore why investing in gold and silver continues to be a compelling option compared to the alternatives. Watch YouTube video: https://youtu.be/woBQBtavLUM 1. Historical Stability: Gold and silver have stood the test of time as reliable stores of value. Throughout history, these precious metals have retained their purchasing power, acting as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainties. Unlike cryptocurrencies, which can be highly volatile, and stocks, which are subject to market fluctuations, gold and silver have maintained a reputation for stability. 2. Tangibility and Security: One of the key advantages of investing in physical gold and silver is the tangible nature of these assets. Unlike cryptocurrencies, which exist only in the digital realm, and stocks, which represent ownership but lack a physical presence, gold and silver can be held in hand. This tangibility not only provides a sense of security but also ensures that investors have a physical asset they can access irrespective of economic conditions. 3. Diversification: While stocks and real estate have their merits, they can be vulnerable to economic downturns. Gold and silver, on the other hand, often move inversely to other asset classes, providing an effective means of diversification. A well-diversified portfolio that includes precious metals can potentially mitigate risks and enhance overall stability. 4. Inherent Value: Gold and silver derive their value from their intrinsic properties rather than relying on the perceived value assigned by market sentiment, as is often the case with stocks and cryptocurrencies. The industrial uses of silver, for example, contribute to its value beyond its role as a precious metal. This intrinsic value can offer a certain level of reassurance to investors, especially during times of economic uncertainty. 5. Inflation Hedge: Gold and silver have a long-established reputation as effective hedges against inflation. When fiat currencies lose value due to inflationary pressures, the purchasing power of gold and silver tends to rise. This characteristic makes them particularly attractive to investors seeking to protect their wealth from the eroding effects of inflation. While the investment landscape continues to evolve with the emergence of new opportunities such as cryptocurrencies, the enduring appeal of gold and silver remains undeniable. These precious metals offer stability, tangibility, diversification, inherent value, and a time-tested hedge against inflation. Investors looking for a reliable and proven store of value should consider the enduring allure of gold and silver as foundational elements of a well-rounded investment portfolio.

Rob delves into the recent changes to Stamp Duty in England and Northern Ireland, providing a comprehensive overview of the new rates and their implications for both first-time buyers and property investors. He highlights the current rates effective until March 31, 2025, and outlines the upcoming changes set to take effect on April 1, 2025, as well as the potential impact of these changes on the property market, including the possibility of reduced investment in rental properties and the resulting effects on supply and demand.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The current Stamp Duty rates for residential properties in England and Northern Ireland will remain in place until March 31, 2025. After this date, the thresholds and rates will change, with the zero rate for main residences decreasing from £250,000 to £125,000. First-time buyers may benefit from reduced competition in the market due to higher costs for investors, potentially making it easier for them to enter the property market. The additional Stamp Duty rate for investment properties will rise from 3% to 5%, which may deter some investors from purchasing rental properties, leading to a potential decrease in the supply of rental homes. The changes in Stamp Duty could lead to a rush of transactions before the new rates take effect, followed by a possible drop in demand and transactions after April 1, 2025, particularly in regions with higher property values. Those in the process of purchasing a property should confirm their Stamp Duty obligations with their solicitors, especially if they have exchanged contracts but have not yet completed the purchase, as they may still be bound by the pre-budget rules. BEST MOMENTS "The purchase price when it's up to 250,000 or 425,000 for first time buyers, then the stamp duty rate is effectively zero." "If more people were sitting on the fence about I could go and buy some property or I might not, then they might look at these increased transaction costs." "What could the impact of that be? Well, people purchasing properties above 125,000 will face higher stamp duty land tax liabilities." "The threshold for first time buyers and stamp duty is decreasing... this could lead to reduced investment in rental properties."

How to Protect Your Pension Fund from a Stock Market Crash Worried about the impact of a stock market crash on your pension fund? You're not alone. Market volatility can significantly affect your retirement savings, but there are strategies you can implement to safeguard your investments. Watch video https://youtu.be/e2iiYBYCUOw?si=enFe6LD0M8jt3hQG Diversify Your Portfolio: One of the best ways to protect your pension fund is through diversification. By spreading your investments across different asset classes—such as bonds, real estate, and cash—you reduce the risk of a market downturn affecting your entire portfolio. Diversification ensures that even if one asset class takes a hit, others may remain stable or even gain value. Regularly Rebalance Your Portfolio: Market conditions change over time, so it's crucial to regularly review and rebalance your portfolio. This involves adjusting your asset allocation to maintain your desired level of risk. Rebalancing helps you lock in gains from outperforming assets and reinvest them into underperforming ones, maintaining a balanced risk exposure. Consider Safe Haven Assets: Investing in safe haven assets like gold, government bonds, or cash equivalents can provide stability during market crashes. These assets tend to hold their value or even appreciate when stock markets decline, offering protection for your pension fund. Stay Informed and Seek Professional Advice: Keeping up with market trends and seeking advice from a financial advisor can help you make informed decisions. A professional can guide you on how to adjust your pension investments to minimize risks during turbulent times. Protect your retirement savings by taking proactive steps today!

Taxes in the UK can feel overwhelming, from income tax and National Insurance to VAT and council tax. There are a raft of business taxes, landlord tax hikes under Section 24, as well as taxes on your savings, Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance tax.  But why do we pay so much tax? The answer lies in funding public services like the NHS, education, and infrastructure. High taxes are designed to support the welfare state and maintain social programs. Watch video on YouTube - https://youtu.be/PZ9IFiI2Tio 10 Money Saving Tips However, there are legal ways to reduce your tax bill. Here are 10 money-saving tips from Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast: Utilise Tax-Free Allowances: Make sure to use your personal allowance, savings allowance, and dividend allowance effectively. Invest in ISAs: Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) offer tax-free interest, dividends, and capital gains. Contribute to a Pension: Pension contributions can reduce your taxable income. Claim Business Expenses: If you're self-employed, claim all allowable business expenses. Gift Aid Donations: Donations to charity through Gift Aid can reduce your tax bill. Marriage Allowance: Transfer part of your personal allowance to your spouse if they're a basic rate taxpayer. Make a Will and Plan for Inheritance Tax: Making a Will and planning ahead could substantially reduce taxes and stress for your dependents. Use Trusts: Protect your assets for you and your family using the laws of trusts. Avoid Section 24: Legally take steps to mitigate landlord taxes under Section 24. Take Professional Advice: Using professional advisers can save you money and even reclaim some overpaid taxes, such as Stamp Duty. By staying informed and using these strategies, you can legally minimize your tax liabilities and keep more of your hard-earned money.

Report and block. And please DON'T send any money.Thanks to all who came to see Shaping The Earth up in Edinburgh. The show got incredible feedback. I am doing it in London October 9th and 10th at the Museum of Comedy. Please come if you fancy a bit of “learning and laughter”. House prices have to come down some time. But when exactly? That's what we all want to know. So here's your answer.The declines start in the US and Canada in 2025, followed by the UK, Europe and Australia in 2026.That's what the 18-year property cycle says, at least.Today we explore that cycle and what it says about house prices.18 Years of Boom and BustEconomist Fred Harrison, who first covered the theory in his 1983 book, The Power in the Land, is very much the Godfather of the idea that real estate follows a predictable pattern over an 18-year period. I first stumbled across Harrison in 2005, when so many were sure house prices had to come down (needless to say they didn't), on reading his brilliantly prophetic article for MoneyWeek, arguing that we were two or three years from the top. Wasn't he right. Today, by most accounts, property should have already crashed. Real estate prices bear little resemblance to earnings. With the rise in interest rates that followed Covid, mortgage-holders found themselves with higher costs. Some were forced to sell, while prospective buyers could no longer afford to borrow as much as before. Increased taxes - I'm looking at you, Stamp Duty in the UK -  have only added to the unaffordability.And yet, while the market may be slow and stagnant in many parts of the country and indeed the world, it is not exactly crashing.There was one school of thought that was steadfast in all the house-price bearishness which followed Covid, saying property's time to crash had not yet come. They were the acolytes of the 18-year cycle in real estate. Yet again they've been proved right. Real estate peaks in 2026, they said. After that we get four years of decline.You know my views on cycles. We have the seasons, days and nights, the moons, menstruation, the cycle of life - cycles are turning all around us. There are economic and investment cycles too: bull markets and bear markets, commodities super-cycles, Gordon Brown was always blathering on about the economic cycle, mining is cyclical. New technology goes through a clear cycle as it evolves and is adopted. On the other hand, it's easy to look back at the past, find some random pattern and declare it a cycle. Actually trading them in real time is a very different matter. In fact, the human need for narrative and the fact that cycles make for good copy mean it's very easy to get wedded to the idea of a cycle, when a very different reality is staring you in the face. After 2008 many got it stuck in their heads that this was Kondratiev Winter and the next Great Depression, and, as a result, missed one of the most rip-roaring bull markets in history. With all that said, the 18-year cycle in real estate has proved remarkably reliable, and, says Akhil Patel, author of The Secret Wealth Advantage, and one of Harrison's great disciples, it goes all the way back to the turn of the 19th century. (I'll show you that data in just a sec).Looking to buy gold in these uncertain times? Check out my recent report, and look no further than my recommended bullion dealer, the Pure Gold Company. Premiums are low, quality of service is high, and you get to deal with a human being who knows their stuff.Broadly speaking, there are four phases to the cycle - and it actually lasts about 18 and a half years.* Years one to seven. A silent rally followed by …* A mid-cycle slowdown or dip at around the seven year mark.* The explosive phase. That's when house prices really get on the map. Think 1983 to 1989 or 2002 to 2007. In the last couple of years you get a classic blow-off top - the winners' curse.* Finally, the correction which lasts around four years. Think 1989 to 1993 or 2008-2011. Then the cycle starts again.I have drawn this chart for you here, so you can see it illustrated.

After months of dithering, the Bank of England has finally cut the base rate to 5 per cent, the first time the central bank has voted to cut the base rate since 2020. On seven consecutive occasions the central bank voted to hold rates at 5.25 per cent between August 2023 and June 2024, despite falling inflation. There had been 14 consecutive base rate hikes since December 2021. The bank's successive interest rate rises between December 2021 and August 2023 were bad news for borrowers but good news for savers. The average two-year fixed mortgage rate is now 5.78 per cent, according to Moneyfacts, and the average five-year fix is 5.39 per cent. Right now, the lowest five-year fix is 3.99 per cent and the lowest two-year fix is 4.42 per cent, but lenders have already started cutting rates, but beware for excessive arrangement fees.  Savers Rates Say goodbye to great savers deals, including Santander's 5.2 per cent special edition easy-access rate and NS&I's one-year bond paying 6.2 per cent, which launched in September 2023. One of the best one-year fixed-rate account on the market now pays 5.4 per cent, down from a high of 6.2 per cent in October 2023. Savers should note that 1,638 savings accounts still beat inflation which is now at the Bank of England's target of 2 per cent, according to the Mail Online. This means the value of your money is growing in real terms against inflation. NS&I revealed it will offer a new one-year Guaranteed Growth Bond paying 5.15 per cent or a Guaranteed Income Bond at 5.03 per cent. The offer is exclusive to existing 6.2 per cent bond holders and will be available when their current one matures, starting from the end of next month. A saver putting £10,000 in Union Bank of India's one-year fix will earn a guaranteed £554 interest over one year. It comes with full protection under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme up to £85,000 per person. Are Buy-to-Let property deals still worth it? How will Labour's new Renters Rights Bill 2024 affect buy-to-let landlords?

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comNext week, I'm putting out my top ten picks from the Weird S**t Investment Conference, so look out for that, and at the end of today's piece, there is also a short note on Condor Gold, which will be of interest to some readers.But we have a General Election coming up in the UK, and citizens of this once-great nation want to know how to protect what they have worked for from the incoming Labour Government, which, you can be sure, is going to be sniffing around like a spaniel on luggage in an airport. We now have the Labour Manifesto, so we can start to be a bit more specific than we were in part one of this series.I stress: this is only the manifesto. There is a long history of governments doing things they didn't mention in their manifestos or failing to honour manifesto commitments. Roosevelt's confiscation of Americans' gold is one example that springs to mind, but that might just be because I have just been writing about it. There are plenty of examples in the UK too, even with the current government - increases to National Insurance, the Covid money splurge, failures on renters' reform, home building, immigration pledges, social care, and so on. Circumstances change and so will pledges, especially with a Prime Minister who has quite a track record when it comes to changing tack. Do not be surprised by the surprises that are inevitably coming.The broad argument of part one is that the pound will continue to be debased. It will buy you a lot less in five years than it does now. Whether we will see the 33% declines in the pound's purchasing power we have seen since 2020, I'm not sure, but the way to hedge yourself is to own non-government money - gold and bitcoin.Labour has pledged to “keep mortgage rates low” and to “retain the 2% inflation target,” which means it will keep a lid on interest rates, or try to, especially with official inflation now having come down to 2%. That all furthers my argument that the pound will continue to lose purchasing power.Labour has a gazillion things it wants to spend money on, ranging from Great British Energy to new teachers, breakfast clubs, and increased NHS appointments, so it is going to need low rates. It has also said it plans to move the “current budget into balance” and “ensure debt is falling.” All I can say is good luck with that. No chance. Spending is going to increase, and, even with the inevitable currency debasement, it is going to need to find tax revenue too. That means higher taxes.But higher taxes where? Taxes, relative to GDP, are already at their highest levels since World War Two, and Labour has promised no increases in National Insurance, Income Tax rates, or VAT. It has also pledged to cap corporation tax at 25% throughout the Parliament.Some increased revenue, it says, will come from clamping down on tax avoidance and modernising HMRC. A lot easier said than done.The big unmentionables have been Council Tax, Capital Gains Tax, and Inheritance Tax. All three, I expect, will go up. Council Tax valuation bands are based on 1991 property prices. That is an obvious anachronism to “update,” though council tax goes to local coffers and Labour will be more interested in revenue at the national level. Even so, it is an obvious area of tax revenue growth. Not a lot you can do to avoid it, except move.Inheritance Tax, meanwhile, will not come down and will probably go up. It is, of course, morally wrong to want to pass the wealth you have earned and already paid taxes on to your heirs. Changes will be justified on the grounds of unearned wealth and exploit the politics of envy. The rate could rise to 50%, I suppose, while areas of relief - the seven-year gift rule, perhaps, the relief on main homes - could be removed. All I can say is plan early.Capital Gains Tax, meanwhile, is likely to rise. Starmer has avoided saying it won't. I expect to see it rise to levels concomitant with Income Tax with similar bands (i.e., 40% above £37k and 45% above £125k). The way to avoid this is by not transacting, which is what most will do unless they really have to, and so the effect of CGT rises will be market atrophy.Labour will also come after your pensions too - there is so much capital there - with those in the private sector likely to take a bigger hit than those in the state.There is also a lot of blurb about the launch of Great British Energy to “harness Britain's sun, wind and wave energy” with a windfall tax on oil and gas giants. That makes British oil and gas companies uninvestable. It says it will “deliver one hundred percent clean power by 2030,” though we know that clean power is neither clean nor green . They clearly haven't read their Alex Epstein, and it all means that essential fossil fuel will inevitably get more expensive, and the country will function less well as a result. Labour says it is going to reduce energy bills. Not possible without subsidies somewhere else, and these have to be paid for.The Housing MarketFollowers of Fred Harrison and the 18-year property cycle will note that Britain's housing market is heading towards a cycle high, with collapse starting in 2026. Perhaps that will be triggered by Labour's plans. It wants to fix planning and build a lot of social housing - that means a bet on builders and builders' merchants (Travis Perkins and Vistry, for example) might make sense, at least in the short run. There is a long history of governments failing to deliver on this, and I don't think Labour has any chance of meeting targets. If it comes anywhere close, it means Britain's housing stock is about to get even uglier.Labour's Freedom to Buy scheme, like Help to Buy, is just another means to pump more money into the housing market, and the general drift seems to be to subsidize at the bottom and tax at the top. It has ruled out Capital Gains Tax on your main residence, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it anyway. Meanwhile, Stamp Duty will continue, even if it means atrophy at the top end of the market. The attack on non-doms will also hit homes at the top end. For homes above £1 million, the costs of moving - high stamp duty especially, more if we get CGT too - just points to stagnation.Meanwhile, I expect the introduction of numerous schemes to protect tenants, which will only drive away landlords and end with higher rental costs.You know that I am a free-market guy, and I dislike on instinct market intervention, subsidy, and all the rest of it. All Labour's grand plans to encourage investment just reek of crony capitalism to me, so I tend to avoid, but I've no doubt that industrialists, who position themselves correctly, might make good money out of them. More on this after the election.My theory used to be this: that in the same way a Conservative Party that was so scared of the left-wing press became a social-democrat party, so will this Labour Government, scared of the right-wing press, end up lurching to the centre-right. I no longer see that. Labour is trying to present itself as centre-left, but the instinct is for government intervention and I see a lot more of it coming. The civil service, the Blob, and the government are theologically aligned and that is not good. It means they can progress their agenda. I'd love to be more optimistic, but, despite Starmer's purges, there is still a lot of socialist instinct in that party.Bottom line. Taxes are going to go up. Freedom is going to be eroded. The pound is going to lose purchasing power.If you are interested in buying gold, check out my recent report. I have a feeling it is going to come in very handy.My recommended bullion dealer is the Pure Gold Company. I also like Goldcore.Don't forget Life After the State - Why We Don't Need Government (2013), my first book, and many readers' favourite, is now back in print - with the audiobook here: Audible UK, Audible US, Apple Books. I recommend the audiobook ;)And if you are in the Edinburgh neck of the woods this August, look out for me at the Edinburgh Fringe. I'll be performing one of my “lectures with funny bits”. This one is all about the history of mining. As always, I shall be delivering it at Panmure House, where Adam Smith wrote Wealth of Nations. It's at 2pm most afternoons.

(If you prefer, you can watch this article in video form here)The youngster setting out on life in the west has a major problem. We live in a society that penalises hard work. Punitively and relentlessly.As Daylight Robbery readers will know, over the course of a life, half of everything a typical worker earns will be taken from him by the government. More if you factor in inflation. People think a house is the most expensive purchase you will ever make. It isn't. It is, by far and away, your government. And it's a forced purchase as well.Not only is the produce of your labour confiscated, it is spent on things on which you may often be philosophically opposed: wars, waste, masks, rainbow road crossings, corruption, human rights lawyers, Stonewall. I could go on.But that is the bind in which the western citizen finds himself. It is the price he must pay for a civilised society.So the typical worker finds himself working hour upon hour merely to stay afloat, his produce confiscated, week in week out. We can't all be Elon Musk, much as we would like to be. Unless you have a very well paid job indeed, this is your reality. It is very hard to get on. You are trapped.To make it worse, the money you are paid in also loses its value. Relentlessly. Thus what you got to keep is taken from you too.This will remain your reality, unless you change it.One solution, as I outline here, is to convert as much of your pay as possible into strong currency, but with 50% of your earnings constantly confiscated it is still a rough deal. (And don't say income taxes are lower than that, I know they are. There are many other taxes we must pay too.)So what to do?The answer is leave. Go somewhere where taxes are lower and the currency is stronger. Then you will be rewarded for your labour. And through your labour, you might actually be able to save and improve your lot.I have never been crazy about Dubai. I've always found the place a bit false. It lacks culture. I prefer places that are a bit more organic. I'd rather be in a quaint English village with an old pub and a beautiful church, wandering through the City with its mysterious, historical back alleys or lounging in some terracotta Mediterranean villa. What's more, the thought of the slave labour on which Dubai was built makes me feel very uncomfortable. In my stand-up act I sometimes do a joke: “as a stand-up you need some ready-made put-downs in case you have problem people in the audience, so I have been working on my put-downs, and the best I've been able to come up with is … You look like the sort of person that likes Dubai.” (Some audiences - usually cultured ones - love that joke, others are baffled by it)But all that said, every time I have been to Dubai I have had a good time. A very good time in fact. And I have always been well looked after.But here's the thing. There is no Income Tax in Dubai. VAT is just 5%. There is no Stamp Duty. There is no TV tax. There is no Council Tax. Petrol is cheap. Corporation tax is much lower. Booze, fags and sugary drinks face 50% excise duties. But who cares? You drink too much anyway.As for the money you are paid in, UAE dirham, well, that's pegged to the US dollar. It's not ideal, but it's better than the pound. So go the UAE, work, keep what you earn and, even in a relatively low-ranking job, in five years you will suddenly you'll find yourself in a very different, much stronger position than if you had stayed in UK, Europe or any high tax jurisdiction.Look at how crap our governments are.
