Martin Lewis' Council Tax warning for anyone who has moved house this year
Money-saving guru Martin Lewis has urged all Brits who have moved house in the last six months to check their Council Tax band - as hundred of thousands of households are thought to be overpaying Martin Lewis has urged Brits who have recently moved to make one Council Tax check that could be worth £1,000s. Earlier this year, more than 150 top-tier local authorities in England increased their Council Tax, with six areas given permission from the government to exceed the 4.99 per cent spike without triggering a local vote or referendum. The news came alongside multiple bill hikes - including soaring energy costs, higher road taxes, and even a more expensive TV Licence - in what was nationally dubbed as ' Awful April '. Used to fund services such as rubbish collection, roads, and street lighting - Council Tax is controversially based on the price your property would have sold for on the open market on April 1, 1991, in England, or 2003 in Wales. This means many Brits living in new build homes pay are on a higher tax band than those in million-pound houses that were built way before 1991. However, it is thought that hundreds of thousands of homes across England and Scotland are thought to be in the wrong Council Tax band altogether. "Moving or just moved house?" Martin Lewis wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "One of the most important things you should do is check whether you're in the right council tax band. You only have six months to make a formal challenge, after that it's much trickier." As Martin explains on his MSE website, the valuation of Council Tax bands was a rushed job - and in an attempt to band every house in time for the 1991 ruling, desperate officials asked estate agents to help. "They didn't have time to get the detailed information together, so [estate agents] set about doing it quickly by pairing up and driving down countless streets, allocating each property a band with just a glance," the money-saving expert wrote. "They became known as 'second-gear valuations' as they mostly never even stopped their cars, never mind got out of them."

You can start off by finding out if you're in a band higher than your neighbours, or similar properties in your area using the Government's website. This is a good indicator as to whether you're being overcharged. But, it's important to understand that you can only ask to have your band revalued - and not just request if it can be lowered. This means you risk having your band (or your neighbour's band) increased - which has happened in the past. If you're still certain you're in a higher band than you should be, you can calculate how much your house was worth in 1991 (if it's old enough) for free on housing websites such as Zoopla and Rightmove. This mainly applies to those living in England as Wales revalued its properties much more recently. "In general you must've lived in the property for six months or less (it doesn't matter whether you own or rent, though if renting you should notify the landlord as a courtesy)," Martin added. "If you're able to challenge formally (also known as a 'proposal'), the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) must review your band. Although you don't have to officially provide evidence about nearby properties, we'd strongly suggest you don't skip that part.

Premium Bond holders typically wait at least three-and-a-half years to win a prize
Premium Bond holders typically wait at least three-and-a-half years to win a prize – and, even then, nine in ten take home less than £1,000, figures reveal. Each £1 bond purchased from the Treasury-owned bank National Savings & Investments (NS&I) has only a 22,000-to-one chance of winning, with the average return 3.8 per cent a year. This is less than in a high-interest instant access savings account that can pay out more than 4 per cent. The long waiting times, revealed through a freedom of information request by the wealth manager Octopus Money, are more likely to be experienced by savers with a low number of bonds. The prize fund lottery pays out tax-free prizes of between £25 and £1 million every month. Some £131.4 billion is deposited by 22.5 million bond savers. And about 440,000 holders won a prize for the first time last year after waiting three years, six months on average. This will come as a blow to the third of people who expect to pick up prizes within six months, according to an Octopus Money survey. Since the minimum prize is £25, it's impossible to get a return of 3.8 pc on small amounts such as £100 – each month you would either win nothing and get a return of 0 per cent, or win £25 or more and get a return of 25 per cent or higher. Last month 5.9 million prizes were given out, meaning 131.39 billion bonds won nothing. In the past five years, 94 per cent of Premium Bond jackpot winners held more than £10,000 in their account, while 75 per cent held more than £25,000. The main reason for investing in Premium Bonds is the perceived lack of risk in losing the initial investment, according to Octopus Money, followed by the tax-free status of prizes and the possibility of a large return. Ruth Handcock, chief executive of Octopus Money, says: 'Premium Bonds work well for some, but others are missing out on alternative strategies that could grow their wealth and hopefully deliver stronger returns over time. 'Premium Bonds are unlikely to outpace inflation, so your money may seem safe but it's shrinking in value over time.'

NY Fed flags $1.06 trillion unrealized loss on bond holdings in 2024
NEW YORK, June 3 - The Federal Reserve saw $1 trillion in unrealized losses on its holdings last year, according to a report released Tuesday by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The bank said in its annual report, opens new tab for the System Open Market Account, the Fed's massive holdings of cash and securities, that the $1.06 trillion unrealized loss in 2024 was 'modestly higher' than the $948.4 billion paper loss seen in 2023. The state of unrealized losses last year was due to 'higher market interest rates across the yield curve' while partially offset by reduced Fed holdings of bonds. The Fed noted unrealized losses capture the difference between the book value of securities it owns versus the current market price. These paper losses do not affect monetary policy operations and are not an issue of note given that the Fed holds its bonds to maturity. The report added the unrealized loss on Fed holdings will likely prevail for years to come. The Fed's balance sheet in recent years has undergone massive expansion, more than doubling to a peak of $9 trillion by 2022 as the Fed bought Treasury and mortgage bonds to stabilize markets and add stimulus during the pandemic. It has been shrinking its holdings for some time, with the overall size of its balance sheet now at $6.7 trillion. The Fed's large holdings are expected to stabilize in January 2026 at $6.2 trillion, the Fed report noted, based on the current view of market participants.
