Finance expert reveals £1 hack that could save pensioners from paying too much tax
In the first three months of 2025, over-55s have been forced to reclaim £44m in overpaid tax on their pension withdrawals.
Speaking on BBC Morning Live on Wednesday (11 June), Laura Pomfret said if you want to withdraw a chunk of your pension, first take out a small amount - as little as £1 - out first.
This will allow you to receive a tax code much faster - enabling you to check if it is correct before making a larger withdrawal.
'Once it's correct you can take that larger sum out and know that it's going to be taxed properly', she said.

Tesco raises price of meal deal by 25p
The UK's biggest supermarket, Tesco, has increased the price of its lunchtime meal deal by 25p. The chain said its meal deal has risen from £3.60 to £3.85 for Clubcard members, and from £4 to £4.25 for shoppers without a loyalty card. Some 80% of Tesco's customers use Clubcard when buying a lunchtime meal deal, the supermarket said. The loyalty scheme offers discounted prices on selected items and the opportunity for customers to earn points on their shopping. Most major supermarkets have their own version of a loyalty card, in a bid to retain customers at a time of fierce competition in the sector. Tesco's 'premium' meal deal has also risen from £5 to £5.50 for those with a Clubcard, and from £5.50 to £6 for those without. A spokeswoman for Tesco said its meal deal, which contains a main, snack and drink, 'remains great value' and was an 'ideal way to grab lunch on the go'. The most popular items are the chicken club sandwich for main, the egg protein pot as the snack, and a bottle of Coca-Cola. There are thought to be more than 20 million possible combinations of Tesco's meal deal. The price hike has come on the same day that Tesco signed a letter warning the Chancellor that food inflation was expected to reach 6% later this year. The letter, sent by the British Retail Consortium and signed by more than 60 retail bosses, said it was 'becoming more and more challenging' for firms to 'absorb the cost pressures we face'. The prices of certain items like coffee, tea, milk, eggs, chocolate and soft drinks have surged recently.

Labour rakes record £100 BILLION of taxes in July as Rachel Reeves plots new raid on middle classes to repair 'chronically weak' public finances
Labour raked in a record £100 billion of taxes last month – but fears are growing that Rachel Reeves is coming for more with the public finances in 'chronically weak condition'. The haul - the highest ever for July - was boosted by Rachel Reeves' employer national insurance raid. However, that policy is also blamed for making it harder for firms to hire and pushing up unemployment. Ms Reeves' tax hike saw national insurance bring in an extra £2.6 billion last month compared to last year and £9.5 billion extra for the financial year to date. It helped the government bring July's borrowing – the gap between tax revenues and spending – to a lower than expected £1.1 billion. That is down from £3.4 billion in July last year. However, total borrowing for the financial year so far, from April to July, is running at £60 billion, £6.7bn ahead of 2024. Even as the tax take surges, spending is ballooning thanks to pay rises for civil servants and Britain's soaring benefit bill. Meanwhile, Britain's debt pile stands at a staggering £2.89 trillion, or 96 per cent of the size of the economy. And the cost of servicing that debt so far this year is £41 billion. Economists think the Chancellor will need to put up taxes even further at this autumn's Budget as she looks to close a gap of £50 billion to meet fiscal rules that commit her to bring down borrowing and debt. That is fuelling speculation that she could stage raids on property tax, pension lump sums or inheritance tax, or carry out a 'stealth' hike by freezing income tax thresholds. Tory business spokesman Andrew Griffith said: 'With the amounts being squeezed out of taxpayers at record highs yet the Chancellor still craving more, either she quits her addiction to higher public spending or someone needs to send her to rehab.' Experts said the public finances remain fragile after U-turns on welfare reforms and winter fuel payments wrecked the Chancellor's plans and as traders in UK bonds, known as gilts, lose faith in Labour – pushing up the cost of borrowing to levels not seen since the 1990s. Meanwhile, economic growth is slowing and doubts are growing about whether Britain's dismal productivity growth – the ability to work more effectively and get more done per hour – can be restored to the levels needed to sustain a recovery. That looks increasingly likely to spell further painful tax rises in October's budget. Elliott Jordan-Doak, senior UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said: 'The big picture remains that the public finances are in chronically weak condition. 'The Chancellor faces surging gilt yields and a likely productivity downgrade from the OBR [Office for Budget Responsibility] in the October forecast round. 'The litany of policy U-turns has only compounded the Government's fiscal woes.' Alex Kerr, UK economist at Capital Economics, said: 'Today's release does little to brighten the gloomy outlook ahead of the Budget later this year.' Mr Kerr estimates the Chancellor may have to raise as much as £27 billion. 'Given that she is struggling to stick to existing spending plans and we doubt the gilt market will tolerate big increases in borrowing, most of that will have to be funded by tax rises.' Matt Swannell, chief economic advisor to the EY ITEM Club, said: 'The rising cost of government debt, changes to welfare reform and the possibility of a less optimistic growth forecast will very likely see tax rises introduced at the Autumn Budget if fiscal rules are to be met.' Darren Jones, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, said: 'Far too much taxpayer money is spent on interest payments for the longstanding national debt. 'That's why we're driving down government borrowing over the course of the parliament – so working people don't have to foot the bill and we can invest in better schools, hospitals, and services for working families.'

Deal agreed for £3bn upgrade to 1955 aqueduct
A £3bn deal has been signed to overhaul a 70-year-old aqueduct that supplies water to more than 2.5m customers across north-west agreement between United Utilities and water projects specialists Cascade Infrastructure will refurbish the Haweswater aqueduct, that carries water from Cumbria to homes in Greater Manchester and Manchester mayor Andy Burnham said: "The Haweswater Aqueduct has served our region well for decades. This landmark investment ensures it will continue to do so for generations to come." The original 68-mile (110km) pipeline was a major feat of engineering when it was originally built and uses gravity to carry 125m gallons (570m litres) of water every day. The project will see ageing pipelines in six tunnel sections, which were excavated with explosives and dug by hand, replaced with new tunnels and a pipeline along the same sections using high-tech boring will be funded by direct procurement, a way of financing big projects devised by the regulator Ofwat, in which water companies instruct third-party providers to design, build, finance, operate and maintain infrastructure after putting the job out to competitive Burnham said the development was "not just about securing the water supplies" but "also about creating jobs, building skills, and delivering long-term value for our communities".United Utilities chief executive Louise Beardmore said: "Today marks a significant step to ensure we have the right infrastructure to provide a resilient water supply to communities right across the region for decades to come."It is part of a UU programme to "upgrade and improve the region's strategic water network".The work is set to get under way in 2026.
