Welcome to our eNews

In response to Clients’ feedback, we want to provide you with more relevant information, more frequently. Therefore, each month we'll be keeping you in the loop with updates from the financial world as well as within ASPL. Of course, we hate spam as much as you do, so if you don't want to receive these communications, click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of this email and you will be removed from the mailing list.

Let's hope the Chancellor's pre budget report hasn't dampened everyone's Christmas spirit too much. The festive holiday period is often a time to put some of these wider economic issues aside, to reflect on the important things in life and to enjoy the company of those closest to us. Next year could be the year in which the politicians get their act together (!) and the global economy aligns itself to a more positive track.

Hopefully, you will have also received our Christmas newsletter by post, and as a reminder, we will be closed from Friday 23rd December (p.m.), reopening on Tuesday 3rd January.

As always, if you have any queries or concerns, please don't hesitate to get in touch with any member of the ASPL Team.

Best Wishes to you & your family for the Christmas season.

Adrian

IHTInheritance Tax - what you need to know

Inheritance Tax (IHT) must be a good candidate for the most loathed tax in the UK. Like its predecessor Capital Transfer Tax, IHT was originally designed to hit the very wealthy. But this situation has changed markedly. It’s now more likely to be the middle classes rather than high net worth individuals who end up paying IHT.
