Please see a request below from TS Intrepid Nautical Training Corps, if you can help please contact Paul Tyler by email paul.tyler@gb.abb.com

I am writing to you on behalf of TS Intrepid Nautical Training Corps, we are a youth organisation that has been based in Lancing for more than 50 Years. We have recently been successful in fund raising for a minibus to transport the cadets to activities and functions, unfortunately we have recently lost the parking location we had, and are looking for a new secure location to store the minibus, I was wondering
if you were able to assist me in finding a way to easily contact as many companies as possible on the industrial park to see if anyone is able to help us.
Please let me know if you are able to assist, or can suggest anyone else that may be able to.

Many Thanks for your time.
Yours Sincerely

Paul Tyler

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

Every Little Tax Break Counts

The first four months of the year has already passed and has seen the FTSE100 move over 9%. 2012 also delivered a positive return for the benchmark FTSE100 Index with a rise of nearly 6%. There are no guarantees for 2013 however…

What is almost guaranteed is that interest rates being offered on deposit, savings and cash ISA accounts will struggle to keep pace with inflation which is currently hovering at 2.3% pa.

The average interest rate on offer for a cash ISA is now just 1.74%, according to recent research by Moneyfacts. This represents a big drop from rates a year ago which averaged 2.55%. The fall is widely believed to be partly due to the fact that financial service providers no longer need to generate as much custom from savers in the wake of the Bank of England's Funding for Lending Scheme with both instant access and fixed rate ISAs being affected.

Austerity has been the buzz word for the government and will be in general parlance for a few more years to come with the economy struggling to make headway. With this rather downbeat backdrop, any tax break offered should be considered and taken advantage of.  

Stocks & Shares ISA’s, introduced in 1999 with an annual allowance of £7,000 have been such a tax friendly home and we have seen the annual allowance increase to its current rate for the 2013/14 year to £11,520. For married couples this gives a significant £23,040 that can be invested in a tax friendly investment this year. Some that have taken advantage by maximising their contributions over the past 26 year when Personal Equity Plans were first introduced and have invested wisely, are now ISA Millionaires.

For 2013/14 the system will work in the same way as last year ie you can invest the full amount into a stocks and shares ISA, or you can invest up to £5,760 into a cash ISA and the remaining balance into a stocks and shares ISA.

ISA’s offer one of a number of tax efficient ways of saving and may not be suitable for everyone and it's sensible to have some savings in cash for security and easy access in the event of an unexpected emergency.

ISA’s are a use it or lose it tax break and therefore failure to take action means the allowance is lost for good. If you need some advice or guidance we would be more than happy to help you.
