MORTGAGECHECK …A NEW SERVICE FOR THE NEW YEAR

We are pleased to announce the launch of our online MortgageCheck service.

MortgageCheck is a new service from Glazers Financial Services, and it works like this. You complete a simple mortgage questionnaire via our website. This will then trigger a phone call from us, 3 months before the end of the fixed or discounted rate, or sooner if requested, whereby we can recommend the most suitable mortgage out of the thousands available on the market.

There is no charge for the initial recommendation, and no obligation to proceed, so you have absolutely nothing to lose!

PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS – TWO IMPORTANT DEADLINES APPROACHING…

If you are looking to reduce your income tax bill and make pension contributions, two important deadlines are looming.

Under the current rules, you can make a personal pension contribution now, and apply it to the previous tax year, which is particularly useful if you want to maximise the tax relief you get or maximise the amount of pension contributions you make. (The pension contribution must be made before 31 January and be accompanied by a set of HM Revenue & Customs forms.)

However, this ability to "carry back" a contribution to a personal pension to a previous tax year is being removed from 6 April 2006. That means that there are two deadlines which are fast approaching.

  • 31 January 2006 if you want to carry back contributions to last tax year (2004/ 2005)
  • 5 April 2006 for any contributions for this tax year (2005/ 2006)

Speak to us now if you would like tax advice on the best option for you. For pensions advice generally, David Higgins or Ben Gibbs of Glazers Financial Services on 020 8458 7427.
