Walking/hiking boots

Presumably that's a fixed rate taken out before rates shot up? How long has it got to run? I guess from what you've said, you can't increase it to £500k to cover the new house? What would the rate be on a new £500k mortgage?

I wouldn't carry on with the sale (option 2) just to avoid pissing...

Eh?

"In the end only a handful of Tories voted against the contentious asylum bill."

Other parties opposed it....

Update/conclusion.

Tried cow tails, cow scalp strips (supposedly ultra hard), camel skin, deer skin, cows ears. None lasted more than 5 minutes or so.

The only thing that lasted a decent amount of time (~30 mins) were thick 6" pizzles (also known as bully sticks). They're...

Mad as a box of frogs that woman.

No wonder she's been siding up to Trump. Peas in a pod them two.

Is all of that £200k assessed in a single tax year (under the 2019 Loan Charge)? If so, ouch....

For the past 20 years or so I've sworn by Berghaus Trek suede/fabric walking boots but recently the durability seems to have gone down. A pair used to last me about 5 years but, with the current ones, the soles have worn down after 18 months. Coupled with this, the price of them has nearly doubled...

Personally, I can't see Labour making much of a difference either way. The economy will get a bit better, as inflation continues to fall and interest rates come down, but it won't be owt to do with them. The root cause of most of what ails this country is low productivity/growth, which is bloody hard...

No but your lot seem to be particularly excelling themselves. It brings back fond memories of the 90s.

Would you save that much tax by gifting the shares?

I guess you could always get married, gift the shares, and then get divorced.

There are still some groups fighting, and cases ongoing, but they're almost certainly flogging a dead horse.

I wouldn't waste your time/energy/money on any of these hopeless causes....

To date, every single loan legal challenge has failed.

Over the past 20-odd years, numerous schemes have gone to court. I haven't heard of a single one that's ever been successful.

If you're pinning your hopes on the courts, you might be better off buying lottery tickets instead....

Unfortunately, once HMRC open an investigation (enquiry/assessment) into a year, there is no time limit for them to conclude it. They can sit on an appeal indefinitely.

I doubt there'd be any IHT.

But they will charge you late payment interest, which will be a pretty hefty amount after 14+ years.
