Britons stash over £1bn at home as interest rates on savings dwindle

The most popular reasons the 2,000 people surveyed gave for keeping cash at home include being able to s ee it, using it for everyday spending, and convenience.  Many are unhappy with the interest they were making on other savings and a whopping 17 per cent said their savings were generating no interest at all.

Cave on beach in PortugalIn September 2017, it was announced that the Portuguese Government, following pressure from Sweden and a number of other European countries, was looking to water down the country’s non-habitual residency (NHR) tax regime, potentially bringing to an end a programme that has worked in the interests of expats since 2009. The uncertainty this proposed move provoked certainly threatened to put a dampener on the financial plans of quite a number of expats and would-be expats as they moved into 2018.
