    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    That would be clear and obvious escalation, so it won't happen officially. That said, unofficially I'd be confident that some NATO boots (special forces) are already on Ukraine soil, the likes of you and I will always be told that's not the case.

    [Misc] Why Amazon, Netflix, Uber etc are all turning to sh*t

    I notice eBay have added 5p to their fixed element of their selling fees, up from 25p to 30p. This hurts high volume low margin sellers and with HMRC now getting data from eBay sales to see if tax due, can see the eBay platform on the demise in the coming months / years. They must rake in an...

    [Misc] Retirement

    Apologies if I didn't explicitly state, but Mrs SS has her own SIPP too. Of course I couldn't use my SIPP to pay someone else. Worth bearing in mind though, when paying in to a SIPP that putting all your eggs in one basket could close off some tax efficient drawdown options in retirement.

    [Misc] Retirement

    He did run some simple numbers. The key one I can't see mentioned in your response is the 25% tax free you can take from your SIPP. Lump sum not always the right choice. Example, assuming no other income, you can be drawing down £16,760k - so tax only due on 75% which keeps it to £12,570...

    [TV] The Apprentice 2024

    Quick search for "VICI Dental" shows Dr Paul is only a co-owner - so he couldn't offer half of his business to Lord Sugar as he doesn't own 100% Likewise for the Dragons, but don't confuse date / time programmes are recorded Vs date / time they eventually get aired .... [but I know what you mean]

    [Misc] Retirement

    My IFA told me that the SIPP was more tax efficient overall than the ISA but once you start drawdown MPAA limits [currently £3,800 pa] new money going into the SIPP so the ISA becomes 2nd best [20k limit pa]. As said by other posters, it all depends on individual circumstances and getting...

    [Misc] Which personality do we have most of on here?

    This type of thread has no place on this board during the playing season. My vote would be to close it and reopen it in June, what type does that make me?

    [Finance] Premium Bonds - prize pool increased again - you ever have any luck?

    I've lost confidence in PBs - it's like gambling without ever losing your stake - but way more disappointment than joy .... So, I've gone fixed rate ISA for half on the assumption that in 12 months time the rate I've locked in will be great after interest rates fall. The other half is now in...

    [Travel] Never ending roadworks

    Ive done the Sussex to Telford run for 22 years now. When using M40 to get to M6 onwards north of Brum it's almost always a better option to turn left at top of M40 and go west along M42, then join M5 north which then merges with M6 north of Brum. There's nothing in it mileage-wise but time-wise...
