in Cutting tax
I earn £40k/year and have an endownment policy maturing £15k. Am I laible for tax ?
I will probably re-invest some and spend the rest. Will this reduce the potential tax bill ?

Endowment (not endownment ) policies are generally free of tax on maturity.Why do you think there is a tax liability?0
-
Because my total income that year will be £55k. The first £40k of which is my salary which will be taxed ?

The endowment is tax free and does not have to be declared.It wouldn’t matter if you earned £1million elsewhere!0
