How to avoid tax creep in retirement

The state pension went up 8.5% in April, but frozen thresholds mean pensioners will be paying more tax

U.S. President Trump could visit Britain in July - Sky News

Reuters - UK Focus

LONDON, April 25 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump could possibly come to Britain for a working visit in July, Sky (Amsterdam: BK8.AS - news) News reported on Wednesday, saying details of the trip were expected to be announced in the next few days.

A working visit would be more low-key than a full state visit. Prime Minister Theresa May invited Trump for a state visit when she went to Washington in January 2017, prompting protests, and a date for the visit has never been set.

A spokesman for May declined to comment on the Sky (Frankfurt: 893517 - news) story, but said discussions are ongoing about Trump's visit and that it is expected later this year.
