Summary

The big topic for Martin this week is inheritance tax, he explains how inheritance tax works and goes through all the practicals on how much you can leave before its taxed.... Why marriage is the biggest way to reduce inheritance tax... The change that means pensions will soon have inheritance tax on them... all the gift rules you can utilise and far more. The podcast features key updates on car finance mis-selling, and what the spike in energy prices due to the conflict in the middle east really means for what you’ll pay. And then of course there’s Mastermind, if a shop misprices an item, can you force them to sell it to you at that amount? If you want to ask Martin a question, you now can! His Question Time podcast lets you ask Martin absolutely anything and everything (within reason!) – so if you’ve always wanted to know what colour his eyes are, what he's planning to do in his eventual retirement, or have a very complicated question about your personal finances, email it to [email protected].
