How to protect your wealth from the new Labour government

[@jonwelderbeast.438]

I worked like a dog all my life, I made enough money to retire comfortably at 50 years old. I never buy a new car, I live in an ex-council house, with no mortgage, and have invested the max in premium bonds. I done virtually everything in life I ever wanted, travelled the world, and have a great family with grand kids. Now, I managed my money very carefully, and watch in horror, as one government after another, blow our money on their idiotic schemes and pour money into their own pockets, if the UK was a business, we would be bankrupt for sure. Unfortunately MP,s are never held accountable for their stupidity, and we as the tax payers, always pick up the pieces, but what really pxsses me off, is these parasites, know that we can’t do a dam thing to change it!!!!! What a mess the UK has become!! And by the way, I am only a Welder, not some high-flyer like our people in authority.

Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money or you could hire a financial expert.

Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

Do you think they will make state pension means tested? ( I hear lots of rumours on this)

[@arthurwebber-g4l]

no They will just rob your bank AC

[@lindsayford8224]

They will all feather their on nests as usual

[@robertnewell5057]

Carl, I know this vid is 2 months old, but Labour certainly have NEVER promised not to increase income tax. They said they would not do so FOR WORKING PEOPLE. You should note that their definition of working people is not broad, and also that pensioners are immediately excluded from the definition. Also, 43% of people pay no income tax at all. From my point of view, as a pensioner, my big worries are means testing of pension and introduction of inheritance tax between married couples. I know that sounds paranoid, but it's easy pickings for Government, and the fate of Waspie women shows us that unpopular and unthinkable changes do in fact happen.

Get out of their system.. buy gold n silver in your own possession.

If You Have funds in the meantime !!

[@OutRAjious]

whatever they do do, it should be in the form of simplification, not further complexity

[@splottcardiff3993]

Would like to see higher rate pension tax contributions reduced to a flat 25%. This also for those who earn below the higher rate £50k threshold. In effect a flat 25% contribution. It’s those on lower incomes who aren’t saving enough for retirement 😢

[@philstabler]

Crap. Debt and welfare.

[@ebbandflowoflife5691]

Very valuable information 👌

[@StanleyStuart-e3v]

Just one question when does the 25% tax free lump sum expire you said in a couple of years so would it be around 2026 am 58 thinking of cashing in my final salary pension fund at 60 yrs old . Plz advice if you can thank you .

[@johntbaxter]

Great info keep it up, subscribed.

[@christinelightbody3065]

The problem with videos like this is that they are aimed at people with a portfolio meaning the more wealthy individuals amongst us. How though, does an ordinary person who owns their own home and has a few thousand pounds saved up after a liefime of work, protect their money? I bet there's no advice going around about that!!!

[@bilbo5934]

Can you be more specific (on the date) in regards to [5 mins & 15 secs] "that the current agreement is due to expire in a couple of years" ... would this be for April 2026 ??? ... and do they not have to give any notice whatsoever ? ... or that they can announce it at midnight of the day before implementation ? ???

[@alistairrobinson3865]

This low tax / small state ideology is great at saving the rich lots of money, but the majority of people will save very little and then have to hand over life savings if an elderly relative needs care, a false economy. Will be interesting what labour do in the autumn statement, as you point out there are loads of options to increase tax, none of which confirmed in anyway, but to have functioning public services and control debt, increases are likely.

[@ty194]

Well, have you ever seen it to know that? When was the last time we were low tax / small state? Were you even born? I know I wasn't.

[@alistairrobinson3865]

It’s a statical fact that UK is one of the lowest tax countries in Europe as a % GDP eg 2022 OECD statistics UK 36%, NL 38%, Nordics 41-44%, France 46%. I lived in NL 13 years where taxes were much higher but public services were amazing and day to day life was much easier than UK. Other countries target wealth much more than UK, I have a low 6 figure income but after pension credits pay approx 15% income tax a year, no wonder nothing works here.

[@ty194]

@@alistairrobinson3865 No let's not play the GDP game, when that doesn't translate to GDP per capita i.e. a real measure of wealth per person and how well people are doing.

[@alistairrobinson3865]

@@ty194 agree gdp per capita much better measure of wealth, but we are not talking wealth, we are talking taxation and the main benchmark used is tax revenue % gdp. I’m not suggesting average earners should pay much more tax, more that the loopholes exploited by the wealthy should be closed to bring in more.

[@ty194]

@@alistairrobinson3865 But the problem is you're using the GDP argument to make the case for us to be taxed more asserting that we are a low tax country when that's not true. Playing the overall GDP game doesn't give you a true picture as to how highly we're taxed as individuals especially when you factor in indirect taxes. If you did, you will find that we're one of the highest taxed countries in the world outside of complete basket case countries. We are absolutely not a low tax small state country. I don't know how anyone can come to that conclusion.

[@CidHighwindRocks]

Pull down equality. They say we need to be fairer and more equal but they don't raise those worse off up to a higher level, they just pull down the successful

The state should be no bigger than a quarter of our economy.

[@andypandy9931]

It seems to me the markets have already been spooked by this government, my pension has lost £10k in the past week.

[@jasonmadelin]

If you gave everyone £10000,1/ some would invest and make the money work and work hard,2/ others would buy new cars a new big TV etc then complain its all gone 3/ whilst others would gamble,drink and just waste the money away. Why should the first group be the ones who have to pay for the other two groups? I see people on PIP and ESA, they seem to have the most disposable income doing everything from group 2 and 3, what is going on?

[@garyhatcher7553]

Investor here, we need to pay more tax. Im happy to pay wealth tax if it means the 14000 or so UHNW in uk are doing the same.

[@johnweightman2002]

You do know that the highest tax burden in 70 years was under the last government. And that the frozen personal allowance means that there is a year on year tax increase.

[@painfulorwhat8872]

Labour - “Hold my beer!”

[@cornel7086]

I am more than happy to pay a little more on my taxes if it helps those less fortunate than myself and also goes towards paying for a decent NHS, Public Transport, Clean Rivers and waterways, Education. The problem we have is that everyone wants tax cuts at the expense of the aforementioned,. The Tories have screwed up the economy and the country big time and should never be given the opportunity to get anywhere near the levers of power.

It won’t tho . We could give them everything we have they would still fuck it all up

Greed is a terrible quality to possess. Let’s just redistribute the wealth so that everyone has enough to live.

[@Jaques2go]

Thing with that, commun ism, you give 2 people £1000. One person works hard investing it in a. Business & then in 10 years is a multi millionaire. The 2nd person spends the £1000, has nothing left & lives on benefits....which us paid for by the 1st person....do you really think it's fair to then take half the money the 1st person worked hard for and give it to the one who became a drain on society & never worked?

Will they really stop me receiving my state pension just because i’ve paid off my house?

[@Annie-ez4ol]

Yes.Where else will they get our money.

[@lynnfincham6839]

Same . I’m still working. Was looking forward to receiving my pension. If I sell and downsize I will be taxed if the house fetched more money. If I have more money I can’t get help with any benefits. Or if I do get a pension it will be means tested. I’ve got 3 half years before I retire the future is grim . 😕
