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.

Piggy banks are a great starting point for children learning the basics of saving money, but there is a clear opportunity for adults to gather their stockpiles together and make their money work harder for them.  Whether it is under the mattress, in a bottle, or in a sock drawer, that money could be contributing towards your savings goals.

The tax advantages of living in Gibraltar

GibraltarLocated at the Southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, the British overseas territory of Gibraltar looks South over the confluence of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. This small but strategically important isthmus of land, is home to over 32,000 people in just 6.7 km2 (2.6 miles2) of land.

Although it’s not quite as well-known as some other offshore territories such as Monaco and the Cayman Islands, Gibraltar tax rates make it a very attractive choice for anyone looking to relocate within easy striking distance of the UK and Western Europe.

Ink pen and writingA full evaluation of your Will writing options should be an essential aspect of any expat financial services plan. If you have interests across two or more jurisdictions, whether they are business, investment, familial or lifestyle you need to be educated and aware of the implications that this can bring.
