Living costs have been rising so significantly in recent months that most UK households will have noticed a squeeze on their monthly budgets. Not only does this have a direct impact on people’s lifestyles, but it also has a knock on effect on their lifelong goals such as owning a home or retiring comfortably.
As well as focusing on the cost-of-living crisis, in this issue we look at why Inheritance Tax receipts have risen and why Inheritance Tax planning is so important, why withdrawing cash from your pension pot may not be the best approach, and what kind of protection insurance will best protect you and your family’s future.
