How to protect your wealth from the new Labour government
So as expected, we now have a new Labour government and it’s likely you are going to need to protect your wealth.
In this video I’m going to go through some of the rumours and what could possibly be coming down the track. I’ll also share what steps you can take to get yourself ready to protect your wealth.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) reported recently that the UK has the highest debt level for over 60 years with a huge amount of spending going on paying the interest on that debt as well as welfare bills.
Public services are seen as struggling.
So, the IFS indicate that it’s inevitable tax rises are needed. Unless we plan to shrink the state and cut public services. That doesn’t seem likely as the recent trend seems to be a bigger and bigger state.
There’s an expectation that it’s the government that should do more and get involved in more.
Now, this video isn’t necessarily a dig at Labour. I could have filmed something very similar had the Conservatives remained in power as we currently have one of the highest tax burdens for over 70 years. Something the Conservatives have presided over.
But it is Labour now in power, so we have to focus on them.
Already, you can see that taxes have to rise somewhere as even part of their ‘first steps for change’ includes recruiting more doctors, border security, police and teachers.
Labour have said they will not increase Income Tax, National Insurance or VAT.
First of all, we can’t believe any promise from any government. It’s stupid to make them. Even if they had all the best intentions in the world on keeping their promises, circumstances change.
Who knows what’s about to happen next in the world. Few would have predicted a global pandemic a few years ago.
When circumstances change, plans have to adapt so don’t rely on Income Tax, National Insurance and VAT not increasing.
Also, get ready for a comment along the lines of, “now we can see the books, the state of the public finances we have inherited is much worse than we realised”.
It’s actually pretty certain you will be paying more Income Tax in the future anyway by virtue of the fact Income Tax thresholds have been frozen. As you are paid more, earn more interest and dividends in the future, more of it will fall into higher tax bands.
So where else might Labour get creative with the tax system.
- Capital Gains Tax
- Inheritance Tax
- Pensions
Steps to take to protect your wealth
It’s a good idea anyway to make sure you have a globally diversified portfolio for your pension and Investments.
I would be very wary of holding too much of your investments in small AIM listed shares that qualify for Business Relief. If your goal is to avoid Inheritance Tax then you should look at a diversified approach which could mean, more spending, gifting and whole of life insurance.
As for property and investments that you were planning to sell anyway, you may want to do this sooner rather than later.
On the pensions front, until we hear otherwise, it still makes sense to contribute as much as you can, particularly if you benefit from higher rate tax relief. It’s never a bad thing to do this earlier rather than later as the longer your money is invested the more chance it has for better returns.
I wouldn’t advocate taking the tax-free cash lump sum yet because as soon as you take it, you have locked the 25% forever. If you don’t need the money you are going to have to put it somewhere and you will then likely start paying tax on it anyway.
If you are really concerned, perhaps start phasing some of your tax-free cash but only if you need the money and aren’t just going to hold it in cash.
Also, get things organised so you are ready to move quickly if needed. This could mean consolidating pensions into one that allows ‘flexi-access drawdown’. This ensures you are ready to withdraw money quickly if needed.
Of course, at this stage nothing is certain and we won’t know for sure whether any of these rumours will be true until something is announced.
You would like to think that were any major changes to be announced, we would be given time before any deadline was imposed. However, we can’t be certain this will be provided.
I’m not one for recommending you make any big long-term impacting decisions before we know more facts. You could end up damaging your wealth even more by just acting on rumours.
What I would say is that you need to remain vigilant and flexible. Don’t have all your eggs in one basket.
After 14 years of Conservatives one thing is for certain, expect change.

I worked like a dog all my life, I made enough money to retire comfortably at 50 years old. I never buy a new car, I live in an ex-council house, with no mortgage, and have invested the max in premium bonds. I done virtually everything in life I ever wanted, travelled the world, and have a great family with grand kids. Now, I managed my money very carefully, and watch in horror, as one government after another, blow our money on their idiotic schemes and pour money into their own pockets, if the UK was a business, we would be bankrupt for sure. Unfortunately MP,s are never held accountable for their stupidity, and we as the tax payers, always pick up the pieces, but what really pxsses me off, is these parasites, know that we can’t do a dam thing to change it!!!!! What a mess the UK has become!! And by the way, I am only a Welder, not some high-flyer like our people in authority.

Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2020, and I return at least $30k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

Wealth tax is one way or another very likely. Land tax is likely. Land use tax is quite probable. The country is in a dire mess for one obvious readon, over spending and unwise decisions. The country has sold off it's assets so the working person must pay
I would expect a big reduction in the annual ISA allowance and quite likely a lifetime allowance on them too; I doubt Starmer & Reeves have much sympathy for the increasing cohort of ISA millionaires! For my non ISA & pension assets I have instructed my wealth manager to switch mostly into worldwide index tracking funds which won't need much if any annual rebalancing, thus triggering gain realisations, and I'll also be moving more into offshore bonds so I can withdraw up to 5% pa tax free for at least 20 years (which I hope will see this government out!) while still, I hope, benefitting from gross roll-up. On IHT, I wouldn't be surprised to see lifetime transfers brought into immediate charge (effectively Capital Transfer Tax resurrected), with the 7 year rule abolished. I'll be interested to see what they do with VCT, SEIS and EIS which I have found vey useful.
Get out of their system.. buy gold n silver in your own possession.

I’m completely happy with CGT going up, I pay CGT and it’s fine. There needs to be wealth taxes, you simply can’t tax income of the poorest any more. I’d increase the 45% income tax rate to 50% and use this money to increase the basic rate threshold. I pay 45% tax and I’m ok with it. The country is broken and it needs fixing. For example im using my private health insurance to get an operation that has a two year waiting list on the NHS. It’s simply not fair. If you earn huge amounts of have huge wealth then pay more tax. As for my kids, they will inherit no more than a house, I’d simply ruin their lives if I left the £2m. I guess looking at the comments this won’t go down well, but seriously how much money does anyone need when there are millions of people in work claiming benefits and using food banks.

@@foilrider2000don’t talk nonsense sending old equipment to Ukraine saves the UK money because it’s cheaper, as for migrants the Tories defunded the processing that caused the problem so that rich Tory donors got £4000 a day to have the asylum barge mooring on there land or putting up migrants in their substandard accommodation at taxpayer expense. Ignorance and corruption is what you get from the Tory’s labour has a proven track record on dealing with migrants that the incompetent Tories couldn’t even get close to.

5:05 I'm no fan of Labour but I do think Starmer genuinely mispoke a week or so ago when alluding to 25% tax free cash on pensions. His words didn't make sense at the time (e.g. pension TFC is not going to "lapse" in a few years) and the subsequent clarifications were pretty clear.

Starmer seems to be "misspeaking" a lot.
I am more than happy to pay a little more on my taxes if it helps those less fortunate than myself and also goes towards paying for a decent NHS, Public Transport, Clean Rivers and waterways, Education. The problem we have is that everyone wants tax cuts at the expense of the aforementioned,. The Tories have screwed up the economy and the country big time and should never be given the opportunity to get anywhere near the levers of power.

You do know that the highest tax burden in 70 years was under the last government. And that the frozen personal allowance means that there is a year on year tax increase.

Would like to see higher rate pension tax contributions reduced to a flat 25%. This also for those who earn below the higher rate £50k threshold. In effect a flat 25% contribution. It’s those on lower incomes who aren’t saving enough for retirement 😢

Same . I’m still working. Was looking forward to receiving my pension. If I sell and downsize I will be taxed if the house fetched more money. If I have more money I can’t get help with any benefits. Or if I do get a pension it will be means tested. I’ve got 3 half years before I retire the future is grim . 😕
Taxes are 70 year high under the Tories .I got no money left under the Tories.
I think a wealth tax should be put in place, for to long the very wealthy have gotten away with paying less tax. Those with the broadest shoulders should be doing more to support public services. Also, housing reforms are well over due, special attention should be placed on landlords, rent amounts, and free and lease holds. For too long the tories have aloud the rich and super rich tax loop holes to hide away their insane wealth.
This low tax / small state ideology is great at saving the rich lots of money, but the majority of people will save very little and then have to hand over life savings if an elderly relative needs care, a false economy. Will be interesting what labour do in the autumn statement, as you point out there are loads of options to increase tax, none of which confirmed in anyway, but to have functioning public services and control debt, increases are likely.

It’s a statical fact that UK is one of the lowest tax countries in Europe as a % GDP eg 2022 OECD statistics UK 36%, NL 38%, Nordics 41-44%, France 46%. I lived in NL 13 years where taxes were much higher but public services were amazing and day to day life was much easier than UK. Other countries target wealth much more than UK, I have a low 6 figure income but after pension credits pay approx 15% income tax a year, no wonder nothing works here.

@@alistairrobinson3865 But the problem is you're using the GDP argument to make the case for us to be taxed more asserting that we are a low tax country when that's not true. Playing the overall GDP game doesn't give you a true picture as to how highly we're taxed as individuals especially when you factor in indirect taxes. If you did, you will find that we're one of the highest taxed countries in the world outside of complete basket case countries. We are absolutely not a low tax small state country. I don't know how anyone can come to that conclusion.

Thing with that, commun ism, you give 2 people £1000. One person works hard investing it in a. Business & then in 10 years is a multi millionaire. The 2nd person spends the £1000, has nothing left & lives on benefits....which us paid for by the 1st person....do you really think it's fair to then take half the money the 1st person worked hard for and give it to the one who became a drain on society & never worked?
