British Gas Life Insurance

British Gas adds Life Insurance to growing Financial Service portfolio

British Gas is today launching a life insurance service for its customers. The service combines a thorough search of some of the leading UK life companies? premiums with a simple application process. In addition all premiums will benefit from special discounts.

For example a 34 year old male, non-smoker requiring £100,000 cover over 25 years will be able to find cover for as little as £9.13.

A female aged 40 years old, smoker requiring £100,000 cover over 20 years would be quoted a premium of £16.81

Quotations can be given in a matter of seconds for online users using House.co.uk or alternatively customers have the choice of enquiring by telephone.

Neale Phillips, Head of Financial Services for British Gas said "The majority of our customers arrange life insurance when they move home and with one million annual home movers, this is a logical and valuable new service to provide.

Rather than issue laborious and often difficult to understand application forms, this service will drastically reduce the usual time taken in the traditional application process by utilising a professional telephone service, through which customers are advised how to complete the necessary questions that life companies require answers to. Our research confirms that the provision of this kind of superior service at a very busy and stressful time will be welcomed by our customers"

The new service will also provide the growing number of customers in the market who are looking to switch away from their current life insurer with a quick alternative quote, to see if they can enjoy savings from securing a better deal.

Britons planning to never retire

Increasing numbers of Britons are having too much fun to ever retire, new research suggests.

Friends Provident's Lasting Lifestyles report suggests that, like Arthur Winston who retired this week after working until the age of 100, a new group of Britain's consumers will never fully give up work.

Mr Winston left his job at the Los Angeles public transit agencies on Wednesday and he had only missed one day of work in 76 years - in 1988 he took a day off to attend his wife's funeral. He said he could have retired in his 70s, but stayed on to help out family members with university fees and financial problems.

And spurred on by continued calls on their bank balances and given the freedom to spend after their children have flown the nest, some 4.1 million Britons aged between 55 and 64 are following his example and are currently working on.

This group enjoys the finer things in life that extra money brings, including luxury cars, skincare products, up to five holidays a year and designer jewellery.

"This is a consumer that came of age in the 60s," noted Jeremy Ward, head of pensions marketing at Friends Provident.

"[They] have kept their open attitudes, political awareness and readiness to consider new ideas. They believe in using their money for fun, enjoyment and new experiences. They don?t want to give up work because they are uneasy about the thought of ceasing to function in society and as consumers."

And the number of UK residents who keep working longer is set to rise, with research firm The Future Laboratory predicting that by 2020 there will be 5.2 million people working on later in life.

"They will recognise that they miss the action of work, even the stress, and head back to the office," said Mr Ward.

"Phased retirement will be seen as desirable, with increasing numbers turning to retirement coaches to help them along the way. Previous reports have hinted at desperation as a reason for people continuing to work, but this new group will actually be choosing to do so, seeing it as a positive move and enjoying the benefits for as long as they can."

Budget 2006: How it affects you

Today Gordon Brown delivered his tenth and possibly last Budget as chancellor. Finance Choices brings you a breakdown of how it will affect your bank balance.

In what was very much a campaign speech for his predicted future role as prime minister as well as an announcement of key financial measures, the chancellor announced relatively little in terms of major changes to UK taxes - but what he did say will have a hefty impact on millions of Britons.

The headline-grabbing measure was undoubtedly the increase in road tax for more polluting vehicles, but there were a number of other measures announced that will impact the finances of the Great British public.
  • Personal tax allowances were raised £140 to £5,035

  • Sin taxes: Nine pence more tax was put on a packet of cigarettes, four pence on a bottle of wine, one pence on a pint of beer. Cider, whisky and champagne were unaffected.

  • Stamp duty threshold was raised from £120,000 to £125,000.

  • The inheritance tax minimum threshold is up £10,000 to £285,000 from April, rising to £325,000 by 2009-10.

  • Road tax will be free for low pollution vehicles, and range from £40 to £210 depending on the petrol consumption of cars.

  • Child tax credit is to be raised 14 per cent over three years - making it worth as much as £88 a week by 2009, with child benefit raised to £17.45 a week from April 10th.

  • Children eligible for child trust funds would receive an extra £250 or £500, depending on their parent's income when the child is age seven, as well as their original child trust fund voucher.

  • Legislation for Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) would be published, creating a new form of fund for people to invest in.

  • Shared equity to be piloted/expanded to help first-time buyers. Shared equity schemes are to be piloted where investors have to pay just 25 per cent of the value of some properties.

  • Help to make homes more energy efficient, providing insulation for all pensioners and low-income families. Also help to get 250,000 more homes insulated. Micro-generation to cut fuel bills for 25,000 buildings.

Brits spend £166 on treating themselves

In just three months the average Briton spends £166 on treats for themselves, new research reveals.

And overall, this means self-indulgent UK residents have racked up £7.8 billion in credit card spending on luxuries.

Data from Morgan Stanley shows that Brits are far happier spending money on themselves than others - with credit card holders spending just £55 each on treats for partners and spouses, although UK residents did splash out an average of £99 each on presents for their families in this period.

The figures, drawn from credit card spending in the last three months of 2005, also show that younger Britons are the most self-indulgent. Those in their 20s spent almost 50 per cent more on treats for themselves than the national average in this period, with under-20s the next biggest self-shoppers.

"Despite reports of a quiet end to 2005 on the high street, our research shows that Britons still found time for the occasional self-indulgent purchase," said Patrick Muir, marketing director for the Morgan Stanley credit card.

"Over the past few years we have observed a growing trend in using credit cards for making everyday purchases, but they also remain a popular way for people to treat themselves before pay day."

Residents of the East Midlands spent the most on themselves in the run-up to 2006, at £261 per person, while people in the north-east were the most generous - spending the most on their friends and relatives and the least on themselves.

Home bills to cost more than mortgages

Home owners will spend more money on council tax and utility bills than they will on mortgage interest payments for the first time this year, experts said yesterday.

Recent increases in the cost of electricity and council tax have forced the change. The Halifax bank said the cost of owning a home rose by more than three times the rate of inflation last year.

The figures, which run to March, do not include recent gas and electricity price rises.

According to Halifax, total housing costs for the average home owner increased by £418 from £5,948 in 2003-04 to £6,366 in 2004-05.

In London the cost of owning a home is 28 per cent above the national average, while the North East is the cheapest region in which to run a house at £4,990 a year.

Of that figure, mortgage interest payments account for 34 per cent of the cost, the same percentage as council tax and utility bills in 2004-05. For home owners with small mortgages, the percentage spent on council tax and power bills is expected to outstrip the cost of mortgage payments in the next year.

"Further above inflation rises in fuel and council tax bills are expected to drive up further the costs of owning and running a home this year. Council tax and utility bills will overtake mortgage payments as the largest cost for homeowners this year," explained Halifax chief economist Martin Ellis.

However, the cost of mortgages is still the biggest single cost at £2,146 in 2004/5, some 20 per cent more than in 2003/4.

Banks robbing the rich and ignoring the poor

UK banks stand accused of making money from well-off Britons, while ignoring their responsibilities to the most vulnerable members of society.

To stop this, a leading think tank has called for banks to be subject to a "universal service obligation".

Currently, 11 per cent of Britons do not have a bank account, three times as many as in the majority of European countries, the New Economics Foundation (Nef) reveals today.

At the same time, figures from Moneyfacts reveal that some 36 per cent of UK bank accounts now require their holders to deposit at least £1,000 a month.

"The banks are cherry picking the most profitable customers - only paying lip service to tackling financial exclusion," said Whitni Thomas, head of access to finance at Nef.

"Their lack of action leaves the most vulnerable marginalised from mainstream financial services, paying more for everyday goods and with no option but loan sharks for credit."

The government introduced basic bank accounts in 2003 which are designed to allow more people to benefit from the advantages of bank accounts.

They let people who would often not qualify for a standard bank account benefit from facilities such as paying bills by direct debit, having pensions and benefits paid directly into accounts, and accessing their money with a cash card.

One of the features of the account is that it cannot go overdrawn, and generally does not include a cheque book.

Evidence from the British Bankers' Association shows that there are about six million UK residents with basic bank accounts.

However, earlier this year Citizens Advice pointed to examples of banks putting "unreasonable obstacles" in the path of those trying to open accounts - such as insisting on certain forms of identification, or not providing any information about basic accounts.

Other problems include heavy fees for missed direct debits, which can be triggered by late payment of benefits or tax credits, and the fact it can take as long as ten days for a cheque to clear using a basic bank account, rather than the three it takes normally.

Nef is recommending today that banks are subjected to a universal service obligation, similar to those applied to the post office, utilities and telecommunications.

"A universal service obligation would guarantee the right to a transactional bank account for the UK's poorest consumers. It should be a simple quid pro quo for the licence to operate in a lucrative and well protected market," Ms Thomas explained.

"In the same way that utilities, postal services and telecommunications are a basic right, a bank account is essential to function effectively in society, a universal service obligation would guarantee this right for all."

Britons paying £7.6bn too much tax

UK taxpayers will hand the Inland Revenue £7.6 billion more than they need to this year, new figures show.

This is because more than four adults in five are simply not paying attention to where they could save money, IFA Promotion reveals today.

And this laziness is increasing, with Britons set to needlessly surrender £1.8 billion more of their money to the taxman this year than last.

"Whether through apathy or confusion, the failure to claim tax credits is just one way we?re gifting unnecessary and vast sums of money to the taxman each year," said David Elms, IFA Promotion chief executive.

"And people can take even simpler steps to stamp out tax waste, such as non-taxpayers filling in a simple form, married couples making sure they use up both tax-free personal allowances, or people simply submitting their self-assessment forms on time.

"Over the past few years, the onus for managing tax affairs has shifted increasingly to the individual, but our awareness and action is not keeping pace, and so the mountain of tax waste keeps growing."

IFA Promotion's top tips for cutting tax

-Claim your tax credits - £2.9 billion of ?free money? is up for grabs from HM Revenue & Customs and the Department of Work and Pensions, in the form of pension credits, child tax credits and working family tax credits.

-Use up your annual ISA allowance - £170 million in tax could be avoided by tax-free investments in ISAs, or moving savings from an ordinary deposit or savings account to an ISA. Also consider a friendly society savings account or products from National Savings & Investments as tax-efficient savings options.

-Sort out your self-assessment - £487 million waste could be wiped out by all forms arriving present and correct by the January 31st deadline. Self-assessment forms received after the deadline incur penalties of £100; further penalties and errors make up the balance of tax wasted in this way.

-Maximise your personal tax allowances - £548 million goes begging each year, £319 million through non-taxpayers failing to claim tax back on banks and building society savings accounts, and a further £229 million by taxpayers not transferring savings accounts to non-taxpaying spouses, if appropriate, so that the tax liability on the savings is lower, or none.

-Plan your inheritance - an extra £1.3 billion could go to chosen heirs by planning properly to avoid inheritance tax liabilities. Inheritance tax is often lost through not writing life assurance policies in trust, not thinking about inheritance tax allowances and, worst of all, by not making a will at all.

-Top up your pension pot - £656 million could be spared by optimising contributions to personal or company pension schemes, or making additional voluntary contributions.

-Take advantage of employee share plans - £207 million is up for grabs for the estimated 600,000 staff currently in profit related pay schemes.

-Use your capital gains allowance efficiently - £389 million could be saved by transferring assets between spouses to make the most of both of your capital gains tax allowances.

-£808 million more could go to good causes by using tax-efficient means of charitable giving - i.e. using a deed of covenant, gift aid or payroll giving.

-Using up the tax free savings potential of child trust funds - £21 million in tax could be saved in their first year of existence.
