I can't say I know anybody that completes their own self assessment.

Can't say I know anyone who doesn't, unless they run their own business. I do mine, Mr GG does his, DD does hers, friend does hers. I know there can be tax 'loopholes' to exploit but we all have pretty straightforward finances and even on the btl's I haven't seen anything anywhere that's made me think I'm missing anything - I'm a member of the RLA and there is a lot of info there.

So, if the account was in my wife's name she would end up paying 40% tax on the savings? Thanks for this clarification, at least I now know to put any savings in my name.

Yup that's right.
Glad Ed's explained the 1/3rd, it makes sense now :T.

Ed - any pork Welly left?

Ed - any pork Welly left?

About enough for one small portion

It was surprisingly cheap. Whoopsied piece of pork fillet from Mr M and special offer L1dl Serrano ham, but c. £5 all in. Very pleased with that, would have served 4 people with dinner party portions (i.e. 3 course meal with a couple of sides etc.)

Served with parmesan and butter spaetzle and savoy cabbage with crushed coriander seeds.

Good evening, KC.

Regarding the self assessments, I need all the help I can get.

Going to see my parents' tax advisor regarding the right way to go about the savings and other things before proceeding with anything as to be honest I don't understand much about any of this.
