How 2.6 million can avoid paying tax on their savings
Four times as many will pay tax on their hard-earned savings this year compared with 2021-22. Some 2.64million will be stung by income tax on the interest they earn in their savings accounts in 2025-26, says HM Revenue & Customs. The taxman is clawing back earnings on a record number of savers, with another 120,000 dragged into the net over the past year. Four years ago, just 647,000 paid the punitive tax. This is because while savings rates have soared, the Personal Savings Allowance (PSA) has been frozen for nearly a decade. Interest on savings is treated as income and taxed at your marginal rate of income tax. Savers all have a PSA, giving them £1,000 or £500 of interest tax-free, for basic and higher rate taxpayers, respectively. 1) Put your savings into an Isa The best way to shield savings from tax is to funnel your money into an Individual Savings Account ( Isa ). These are much like any other type of cash savings account, except any interest earned is completely sheltered from tax. You can put up to £20,000 into Isas every tax year. Savers can bag a rate above 5 per cent on easy access Isas, while one-year fixes pay up to 4.3 per cent. Laura Suter of stockbroker AJ Bell says: 'Using tax wrappers like cash Isas or investment Isas is now more important than ever to protect your savings.' 2) Max out other allowances If your only source of income is your savings interest – and that is less than £100,000 – you qualify for tax-free allowances. These are the personal allowance of £12,570 and the £5,000 starting rate for savings. Low earners can use their personal allowance of £12,570 to earn interest tax-free if it has not been used up by earnings or other income, such as a pension. Those earning less than £12,570 receive an extra £5,000 tax-free allowance for their savings income. This means someone can earn £12,570 in income and £6,000 in savings interest (£5,000 starting savings allowance plus the personal savings allowance of £1,000) before tax is applied. Another way you could cut a tax bill is by transferring some of your personal allowance to your spouse if they earn less than you and below £12,570. 3) Premium Bonds Tens of millions flock to National Savings and Investments (NS&I) to win one of two £1million prizes in the monthly Premium Bonds draw. Any prizes are tax-free. Prizes offered by the Treasury-backed bank NS&I range from £25 to £1million and the maximum you can invest in Premium Bonds is £50,000. But winning is not guaranteed and your money won't earn interest in Premium Bonds. The odds of any Premium Bonds winning a prize in a monthly draw is one in 22,000. 4) Invest in gilts For those with larger amounts of cash they don't need immediate access to, investing in government bonds can be a tax-efficient alternative. Look for gilts with low coupons that can be bought below the value at which they will mature. This is because price gains made on gilts are exempt from capital gains tax. You receive a regular income, known as the coupon, and if you hang on until the maturity date you get all your money back, except in the unlikely event that the UK defaults on its debt.

Want to know what's going right in Britain? Come to the capital, look at the Elizabeth line railway
Another week, another piece of good news concerning London's newest railway. This time it's a timetable update showing that the Saturday service on the core section of the Elizabeth line will increase from 16 to 20 trains an hour. From December, there will be a train every three minutes between Paddington and Whitechapel, higher than the normal off-peak frequency, just in time for your Christmas shopping. OK, it's hardly world peace or a custodial sentence for the people who keep adding AI to search engines, but in 2025 you take what you can get. There are two competing narratives about what, in happier times, we used to know as Crossrail. The first and most familiar is a litany of complaints. The new line took for ever to happen, even by the standards of such things: an east-west heavy rail tunnel linking Paddington and Liverpool Street was first proposed mere weeks after the conclusion of the Blitz, and as far back as the 1990s information leaflets about the plan were appearing at outer London stations and exciting some of the cooler local teenagers. But the route didn't actually get the nod until 2008, at almost exactly the point someone in the offices of Lehman Brothers was asking: 'So, when you say sub-prime …' And then, of course, it arrived late and over budget. This is par for the course with infrastructure 'megaprojects', which have a well-known habit of costing billions more than projected – but the insulting thing about this one was that, as late as the summer of 2018, its promoters were still touting it as the exception to the rule. On the last day of August that year, though, about four months before opening day, news broke that it would not be delivered on time. In retrospect, the fact the stations were visibly unfinished should have been a useful clue. In the end, the £4bn budget overrun – on a single London project – was bigger in itself than the sum Rachel Reeves put aside for transport in any single city region in 2025. Less expensive but more irritating was the line's new name. London has a habit of doing this – the only tube lines built since the network effectively entered public ownership in 1933, the Victoria and the Jubilee, were named for the royals, too. Nonetheless, it felt deeply weird to do this while Queen Elizabeth II was still alive. And so, by the time the line opened in 2022, the shine had come off. But that's when the narrative began to change – because, while there have been teething problems (mostly involving signalling, mainly in west London), it's become increasingly obvious that the line has been an enormous success. By its third anniversary in May, it had provided more than half a billion journeys, more than any other operator in that period, including the entirety of the South Western Railway or Northern Trains networks – this, remember, for what is in essence a big tube line. It is also responsible for a staggering one in seven journeys on the entire British rail network. TfL reckons almost 30% of these are people who'd previously have travelled by car or not at all. More than that, the line has transformed the geography of London. It has halved journey times from parts of south-east London to the West End, put Paddington and points west in easy reach of the eastern suburbs and provided passengers at Heathrow with a single fast train to essentially everywhere. Even the ExCel exhibition centre in the Royal Docks is no longer hell to reach (merely to enter). Suburbs have been regenerated, more jobs created, more houses built; the line's forelock-tugging name has ceased to sound weird. It's hard to argue it was not worth the wait. All of which raises an obvious question: if it worked this well, why on earth are we not building more of it? As things stand, at least six trains an hour – a service frequency passengers in much of London, let alone elsewhere, would kill for – go no farther west than Paddington. Doesn't that suggest a case for an extension? Or what about the abandoned plan to extend the Canary Wharf branch to Ebbsfleet in Kent? Or for Crossrail 2, the latest iteration of the nearly-as-long-discussed Chelsea-Hackney route? Or for extending the Bakerloo line to Lewisham? The biggest prizes, though, are surely not even in London. One of the big constraints on the West Midlands rail networks is the shortage of space at Birmingham New Street station. A Birmingham Crossrail, allowing suburban trains to travel from east or west, could enable higher frequencies by getting local trains out of the way of intercity ones, and revolutionise transport in a city still far too dependent on cars. Then there's the M62 corridor, where four city regions with a combined population nearing London's abut. The region's terrible transport links are not the only reason productivity in Manchester or Leeds lags their continental peers – but the fact commuters can't rely on trains turning up on time or at all when deciding where to work surely can't be helping. And yet governments have repeatedly refused to back the new line – branded variously as Northern Powerhouse Rail, High Speed 3 or Crossrail for the North – meant to address this. Even less ambitious schemes – new through platforms at Manchester Piccadilly, electrification to bring the region at last into the late 20th century – have been loudly promised then quietly abandoned. Reeves has promised £3.5bn to fund upgrades on the existing TransPennine route – but given that a new Manchester-Leeds route was projected to cost £5bn when proposed over a decade ago, it is hard to see how this the extra cash could provide anything even close to the transformative new line that London is now enjoying. The reason, of course, is that the Treasury sees rail infrastructure not as investment but as a new cost centre. (Road maintenance, for some reason, never gets the same treatment.) In direct contrast to the bit of the rail network run by TfL, indeed, stealth nationalisation on the rest of the network has been accompanied by service cuts. This is absurd. Experience suggests that, if you build it, they will come, and jobs and homes will follow. Someone should take the Treasury on the Elizabeth line.

I make £100s in seconds from selling my own ear wax, gross men will pay for anything
A WOMAN has revealed that she makes £100 in seconds, by selling her earwax to random men. Lateisha Jones, 24 (@latieshajbackup) has an unconventional approach to making cash, and previously revealed that she flogs her used foot masks and chewed mints online. 2 And now, the savvy seller has revealed her easiest means yet of making cash. Sharing details of her unique cash grab on TikTok, Lateisha proclaimed: "Your friends all work serious 9-5s and you spend your days selling used earbuds." "Ear wax is the easiest." She then proceeded to stick the buds into her ear until they had wax on them, before packaging them up. Along with the used cotton swabs, she added a card with a lipstick kiss and her autograph on it to the packages, which were then shipped off to her admirers. In a second video, Lateisha showed a bank transfer from a man who had sent her £50 for the earwax. Making the sale took just seconds of work, meaning that Lateisha could wrack up hundreds of pounds every day for selling her earbuds. She revealed that she charges the men whatever she likes for the earwax, adding that "the more wax, the better". And the seller is encouraging others to follow in her footsteps too, commenting under the video that there is "enough weird men for us all." Lateisha's video quickly went viral, with social media users racing to the comments section to share their thoughts on her business venture. I earn cash by selling 'actual rubbish' on eBay - I flogged a freebie I found on the floor by a bin for £10, it's crazy One confused person asked: "But what do they do with it?" Another person admitted: "This is the lifestyle I need." A third person said: "I'd make a killing." Lateisha previously revealed how she charges one man £800 for her used braids. Do I need to pay tax on my side hustle income? MANY people feeling strapped for cash are boosting their bank balance with a side hustle. The good news is, there are plenty of simple ways to earn some additional income - but you need to know the rules. When you're employed the company you work for takes the tax from your earnings and pays HMRC so you don't have to. But anyone earning extra cash, for example from selling things online or dog walking, may have to do it themselves. Stephen Moor, head of employment at law firm Ashfords, said: "Caution should be taken if you're earning an additional income, as this is likely to be taxable. "The side hustle could be treated as taxable trading income, which can include providing services or selling products." You can make a gross income of up to £1,000 a year tax-free via the trading allowance, but over this and you'll usually need to pay tax. Stephen added: "You need to register for a self-assessment at HMRC to ensure you are paying the correct amount of tax. "The applicable tax bands and the amount of tax you need to pay will depend on your income." If you fail to file a tax return you could end up with a surprise bill from HMRC later on asking you to pay the tax you owe - plus extra fees on top. The TikToker explained that every six to eight weeks, she takes out her braids and sends them to one specific customer. She said that people always assume that this man must be "old" or "weird. However, she described him as a "regular road man" in his twenties. Explaining what the man wants the braids for, Lateisha revealed: "He smells the braids and does his business." She showed herself packing up the hair, and writing a "cute" card to send to the man. Lateisha then showed screenshot of her bank account, revealing that the man had deposited £800 in her account for the braids.
