Read the IEP Financial Newsletter for Summer 2013

Welcome to the latest IEP Financial newsletter...

It seems hard to believe that the year is already halfway over, yet the evidence is there in the number of financial planning milestones we’ve passed so far. If you feel you’ve fallen behind on the latest developments, don’t worry - it’s never too late to get up to speed. With that in mind, our summer newsletter covers both current and future issues you should be aware of.

No cheap childcare options
The cost of private childcare can be prohibitive, but many stay-at-home-parents fail to assign a value to the work they themselves do in raising their children. When it comes to protection cover, this can be a costly mistake in more ways than one.

Keep up with tax changes
Some of the most significant announcements in the Budget were easily missed – but there could be important consequences for many people affected the changes to inheritance tax, among other taxes.

Many layers to the single-tier pension
In less than three years, the single-tier pension system will be introduced. Creating a flat-rate pension, however, requires many layers of complex detail.

Still carnival time for the BRICS?
While emerging economies may seem vibrant and enticing when compared to the rather underwhelming displays by those that are more established, it pays to be careful before committing to an overseas investment.

No island escape for tax avoiders
HMRC and the Treasury have taken full advantage of an opportunity afforded to them by the United States’ moves against tax avoidance – and they’re looking to capitalise further.

We provide expert, friendly advice on all of the topics we cover in this edition and more. We would be happy to help you with your financial planning and security, so please don’t hesitate to contact us. We hope you enjoy the newsletter.

The FCA does not regulate some forms of tax planning.

Before we leave you to read through the newsletter, we'd like to just mention that we have recently launched our new website. When you get a spare moment, please visit it at www.iepfinancial.co.uk
