Episode 3: Steve Baker, Former Conservative MP

The UK government is spending more than it earns and the debt mountain is growing. Now that the cost of borrowing has gone up, the government will have to find another £28bn to service the debt each year.

Even without that extra cost, the fact that we are an ageing population with, now, more people taking from the State than paying into it, the days of benefits, state pension, free healthcare and other services that we have come to expect from the State, are numbered

That’s the view of Steve Baker, former Conservative MP, who has calculated that we have only another 15-20 years of money left to pay out in benefits.

Episode 2: Andrew Foster Bullion Club

Gold is going up and up which is good news for those of us who have been investing in it for a while. It’s particularly good news for those who have gold sovereigns in their portfolio. Not only are sovereigns a handy way to keep your gold, but they are also tax-free investments.

We spoke to Andrew from one of our sponsors, Bullion club, who said not only do you avoid paying VAT when you buy them but you also avoid Capital Gains Tax (CGT) when you sell them for a profit as they are considered to be legal tender!

So if you’re interested, see what Andrew says about how to make the most of that extra tax-saving element. Don’t forget to share this with anyone you know who’s looking for a tax-efficient investment.
