    I think next yr I will owe 80p in total. I'm hoping they will let me pay it in instalments to spread the burden! :biggrin:

      They say it is to encourage you to put the money into stocks and shares ISA's but I think it is simply being reduced to get some more tax. Stocks and shares ISA's usually do much better than cash but you need a reliable company to manage them for you.

        I was surprised how little attention the media gave that change after the last budget. Again, it's something that affects those with modest savings rather than the wealthy, who can manage their money to avoid tax.

          Since retirement I'm in no position to put more than 12000 a year into an ISA:dunno:

          Come to think of it I wasn't able to even when I was working. :roflol:

            We manage our own stocks and shares ISAs. Much more fun!
