George Osborne

Millions of people will be affected by tax and benefit changes coming into force on Friday - changes Labour has labelled a "tax bombshell".

In light of last week's Budget announcements, Peter Ng, IFA at Retirement Solutions, reviews what the changes to pensions tax relief will mean to those retiring.

George Osborne has expressed anger that key aspects of his Budget were leaked to the media - but denied anyone from his Treasury team was responsible.

Chancellor George Osborne should merge the incoming Financial Policy Committee (FPC) with the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to create a "single super-committee", it has been proposed.
