Your End of Tax Year Checklist for 2027

Monday, November 9, 2026 • Duration 16:13

Chancellor John Healey has scrapped the planned cut to the cash ISA allowance, so savers can still put £20,000 a year into an ISA tax-free. But from April 2027, tax on savings interest outside an ISA rises to 24%, 44% and 49%.

The new tax year starts on 6 April 2027. Unused ISA allowance is lost, pensions start counting towards inheritance tax, and the oldest year of unclaimed pension tax relief runs out.

Edmund Greaves sets out what the Budget means for your money and what to check before April. He explains the changes for savers, pension holders and landlords, from the 64% tax that can hit an inherited pension to the rise in property income tax. He also looks at what's new for first-time buyers, pensioners, side hustles and student loans.

HMRC Owes You Money: Claim Your Higher Rate Pension Tax Relief Now

Monday, November 2, 2026 • Duration 15:42

Higher-rate taxpayers left between £450 million and £1.3 billion of pension tax relief unclaimed in 2023-24, according to figures HMRC gave the pensions consultancy LCP.

If your pension comes out of your pay after tax, your provider adds 20% tax relief automatically. If you pay 40% tax, the other 20% has to be claimed from HMRC yourself, and HMRC won’t pay it unless you ask.

Edmund Greaves checks LCP’s figures and works out what’s owed at seven salaries, from £55,000 to £150,000. He explains the payslip test that shows which kind of pension you have, the quick “divide by four” rule and why the claim is worth more in Scotland, for parents and for anyone earning over £100,000. He also sets out how he claimed his own relief back, why you never need a claims company and why the oldest year you can claim for runs out on 5 April 2027.

UK Tax System Explained: Where £1.36 Trillion Goes

Monday, October 26, 2026 • Duration 16:17

The UK government spent £130 billion on debt interest last year, according to the Treasury. That’s more than defence and the police, courts, prisons and fire service put together.

Every year HMRC sends you an annual tax summary showing where your income tax and National Insurance went. Debt interest sits fourth on the list, but it buys nothing new. It only pays for borrowing that has already happened.

Ahead of the budget on 28 October, Edmund Greaves goes through the Treasury’s spending accounts and rebuilds the tax summary at six salaries, from £25,000 to £150,000. He explains how much of your tax goes on pensions, health and debt interest in pounds, and what the summary leaves out, including VAT, employer National Insurance and borrowing. He also sets out what he’d look at before budget day, from frozen thresholds to the £100,000 personal allowance trap.

Why we swapped holidays abroad for a camper van

Wednesday, October 21, 2026 • Duration 25:27

Ed and his family spent the best part of £6,000 to £7,000 on two holidays abroad this year. Their old VW Polo then needed £700 for a service and about £1,000 more in repairs, which is more than the car is worth. The loan on their other car was ending at the same time, freeing up £300 a month. Ed explains how the family weighed those three pressures and decided on a converted VW Transporter camper van.

Chris Tuite puts the money questions to him. They cover diesel at close to £2 a litre, insurance at £33 a month and a £400-a-month loan in place of PCP. Ed also explains how he checked a used van's MOT history before buying, and how the van doubles as somewhere to sleep after late trains home from London.

How to find your lost Child Trust Fund, with HMRC's Ged Killen

Thursday, October 15, 2026 • Duration 15:35

Around 827,000 young adults in the UK have a Child Trust Fund they have never claimed. The average unclaimed pot is worth £2,310, according to HMRC.

The government opened one of these accounts for every child born between 1 September 2002 and 2 January 2011. Each started with at least £250, and many families never knew where the money went.

Edmund Greaves speaks to Ged Killen of HMRC about how to track down a lost account. He explains what details you need, how long the search takes and what your options are once the account matures at 18. He also says why you should never pay a tracing agent, or hand over your bank details, to find it.

Time's up for the triple lock? What we learned from Labour conference

Wednesday, October 7, 2026 • Duration 23:34

Andy Burnham has announced the end of the pensions triple lock, but the change doesn't start until 2030 and your state pension still rises in full next April. Edmund Greaves and Chris Tuite unpack the three big money announcements from Labour's conference. These are the new state pension formula, the Your First Home scheme for first-time buyers and new council powers over empty homes. They finish with the changes already locked in for April 2027, covering the state pension, cash ISAs and inheritance tax on pensions.

The hidden pay rise in your workplace pension, with Which?'s Paul Davies

Wednesday, September 16, 2026 • Duration 24:03

Nearly half of people paying into a workplace pension can't say how much their employer puts in, and one in five don't know whether their employer would pay more if they did.

Paul Davies, pensions expert at Which?, joins Edmund Greaves and Chris Tuite to work through new Which? research: what the law says your employer must pay, why the percentages are not taken from your whole salary, how matching works and what to check on your own payslip this week. Edmund and Chris test themselves on air first.

The episode also covers how often the legal minimum is all an employer pays, how public sector schemes differ and what the Pensions Commission could change when it reports.

Pension Salary Sacrifice Changes Explained

Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 21:44

From 6 April 2029 the government will cap the National Insurance saving on salary sacrifice pension contributions. The first £2,000 a year stays free of National Insurance, and everything above that will be taxed like ordinary pay. The CIPP puts 3.3 million workers in scope.

Edmund Greaves and Chris Tuite explain what salary sacrifice is, why middle earners gain more from it than high earners do, and what the cap actually changes. National Insurance falls from 8% to 2% above the higher-rate threshold, which is why someone earning £28,000 saves proportionally more than someone on £80,000.

They also work through the drawbacks of carrying a lower gross salary, from mortgage affordability and maternity pay to income protection and redundancy, and answer whether any of it affects your state pension.

Nothing changes until April 2029. Check your payslip to find out whether you are already on salary sacrifice, and talk to HR or payroll if you are not sure.

Why do some people not trust pensions?

Wednesday, September 2, 2026 • Duration 22:39

Sean Standerwick is a chartered financial planner, and a fair part of his job is talking people out of distrusting their own pension. This episode is what he tells them.

You come away with a number to measure your own pot against. The Retirement Living Standards put a single person's minimum retirement at £13,900 a year, a moderate one at £32,700 and a comfortable one at £45,400, against a full state pension of £12,547.60.

You also get the tax case in three parts — relief going in, no tax while the money is invested, and 25% available tax free on the way out — along with the three routes to paying in: salary sacrifice through work, your own limited company, or personally.

The second half is the more useful part if you are the sceptic yourself. Sean argues that people seldom object to the pension itself and mostly resist being sold to, and he works through two clients who talked themselves round once the conversation changed shape.

Figures are current for the 2026/27 tax year. This episode is information rather than financial advice.

You Opened a Stocks & Shares ISA — Now What?

Tuesday, August 25, 2026 • Duration 25:33

From April 2027 the cash ISA allowance for under-65s drops from £20,000 to £12,000. The overall allowance doesn't move, so £8,000 a year has to go somewhere that isn't cash.

For a lot of people that turns investing from a someday decision into a this-year one.

Edmund Greaves is joined by Andy Prosser, Head of Investments at the ETF platform InvestEngine, on how to pick what you invest in — time horizon, risk tolerance, the difference between an ETF and a traditional fund — and on what InvestEngine's own investors have been buying this year.

Ed also explains what he got wrong when he started.
