In this podcast Martin explains the Energy Price Cap, and the firms offering fixes cheaper than the Price Cap. It’s a new tax year, and that means all UK adults have a new £20,000 tax-free ISA allowance to use. Martin runs through your options of where to put your money. Martin explains why a change on council tax debt collection which will mean vulnerable people will have more time and support to settle their outstanding council tax bills has put him in a good mood. Listeners Tell Us about financial mistakes that turned out to be a good move. And will Adrian get this week’s Money Mastermind? This week the question is about savings interest. 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 MartinLewisPodcast@bbc.co.uk .","meta_description":"Energy bills are in the news and this may be a crucial moment.
