Tax on Pensions on Death Last month we looked at the new rules for drawing money out of pensions during one’s lifetime and the tax paid on that drawdown.

Although these rules had been eased there was still the threat of a 55% punitive tax charge on any pension fund remaining on death. However, following a summer of consultation and meetings to consider this, we now know a little more on this matter.

The new proposals are that: a. On the death of an individual aged under 75 the pension fund can pass

Peter Tarren For business planning and tax advice call Peter on: 01609 779400 or email him at: p.tarren@euraaudituk. com or drop in at: 87 South Parade Northallerton DL7 8SJ

Payment Day These reforms apply to payments made after 6th April 2015 rather than deaths on or after that date.

To benefit from the new rules it is

to beneficiaries tax free as a lump sum. b. However if the individual is over 75 when they die the beneficiaries can either:- Take pension drawdown from the fund themselves and that will be taxed at their marginal rate or - Take it as a lump sum which will be taxed at a flat rate of 45% up until 2016/17. After that date it will be taxed at their marginal rate.

It is worth remembering that at one time on the death of a pensioner a pension pot could have been liable to tax at 85%. At present the tax payable on what remains in a pension is reducing from 55% to 45% and below.

important for beneficiaries to ask scheme administrators to delay any payments if the death is before 6th April 2015. However for ages under 75 tax free lump sums must be paid within 2 years of death.

Lifetime Allowance Currently individuals are allowed to have a pension pot of ÂŁ1Âź million pounds. If you are lucky enough to be in that position you should note that inherited pension wealth does not count towards a lifetime allowance and so any funds transferred will be in addition to this figure.

The aim of this scheme is to provide a three-day emergency food parcel to people in temporary financial crisis who otherwise would have to go hungry due to their various circumstances.

We are also looking for bikes to help young people starting work, as a lot of local jobs are often outside their reach on foot. Transport is a huge issue for young people in Thirsk and we are always repairing old bikes and giving them out. Any old laptops that are no longer being used would also be greatly appreciated.

Ripon’s New Skatepark Opens

Improved Bus Service Residents of Thirsk can benefit from a recently improved bus service between Thirsk, Easingwold and York, as Reliance Motor Services extends its service 30.

Service 30 previously ran hourly between Easingwold and York, but from this Summer it has been extended to Thirsk via Thormanby, Birdforth and Thirkleby Hall Caravan Park. This gives Thirsk residents an hourly service to York. The timetable also allows bus travellers from Northallerton to make a connection at Thirsk.

The extended service will arrive at and leave from Thirsk market place and take just under an hour to get to the centre of York, arriving at Exhibition Square.

Passengers trying the service soon after it started found it good value for a trip to York, saying it was cheaper than taking a car into the city. Easingwold residents will also benefit from an hourly service to Thirsk, making commuter journeys possible.

Reliance has been serving residents of Hambleton and York for more than 80 years.

and BMX cyclists in a safe location.

Harrogate Borough Council committed £31,000 to the project, while Ripon City Council contributed £20,000.

Further funds were raised through a £50,000 grant from WREN, a not for profit business that awards grants to community projects across the UK from funds donated by FCC Environment to the Landfill Communities Fund, and a £50,000 grant from Sport England’s Inspired Facilities Fund which is funded by the National Lottery. £24,661 was provided through an Armed Forces Covenant Grant, while the PCC Community Grant Scheme has contributed £5,240.

Garden View Hedging Your Bets Ok, so it’s a terrible heading, but November is the perfect time for planting new hedges, and at this time of year it’s a very safe bet.

Prior to the use of containerised plants (which can be planted at almost any time of the year) planting between November and March was a gardeners only option, and as far as the plants are concerned it’s still the best by far.

When plants are dormant (asleep) they will hardly even notice being moved, and by spring when their new leaves emerge their roots will have already pushed through the surrounding soil in their new home.

Hedges are often thought of as hard work, time consuming and have been at the centre of heated neighbourly debates (whether it’s cutting them too low or letting them grow too high). They are great for blocking out unsightly views, adding privacy, and also make a wonderful place for wildlife to live, rest and nest. For the past 3 years we’ve had a variety of birds nesting in our Yew hedge and the addition of

extra life in the garden always pleases me.

If you’re looking for a quick solution to a green screen, then you have two options, either instant (such as a 2m high instant hedge, pre grown, trained and clipped, perfect for the impatient gardener), or Leylandii conifers. As I write this I can hear the screams, but it really is the best option for speed and it’s costeffective. Do be aware that legally, as of a couple of years ago, you have to keep its growth contained to 2m high if on a boundary (this does not apply to any other species).

For the more patient gardener, try the classic evergreen Yew hedging. Like most beautiful things in life, it’s more expensive to buy. It’s also slower growing (15-30cm per year), but does only require cutting once per year in September, and will provide you with the most beautiful hedge. I also favour the evergreen Portuguese laurel, which has a smaller leaf than the more common cherry laurel, or Beech if it doesn’t need to be evergreen.

include Lavender, Berberis, Lonicera, and for the perfect no-cut low hedge go for a small Hebe, (simply choose a variety which only grows to the height you actually want the hedge to grow to).

Whichever hedge you choose, the ground preparation should be the same. For containerised, bare-root or root-balled hedges, dig out a trench which follows the line of the proposed hedge, this should be at least one and a half times wider and deeper than the rootball.

Fork over the base of the trench and return some of the soil, so that when you plant the hedge it sits at the same level as previously planted (i.e. not too deep).

Backfill with the removed soil, add a handful of bonemeal per plant, and dig in. Firm with your boot then water well before mulching with 5cm of compost, manure or bark clippings.

Happy winter gardening Lee Bestall

For a smaller hedge it has to be Box, but alternatives

A Festive Wreath Long before the introduction of central heating and other luxuries of the 21st century, people required greater faith that they would safely survive the harsh upcoming winter.

One such symbolic display of this hope was the beautiful Christmas wreath. Now creeping back in fashion and available in a number of guises, they can be found hanging on doorways, both inside and out, as a centrepiece on a table, and even hung on walls as decorations.

Although we may have lost the traditional reasoning behind displaying such garlands, I’m on a mission to bring them back … in whatever style suits your home.

The word ‘wreath’ is linked to the word ‘wrist’, both words describing the form of a continuous circular shape. Fuse this with ‘wrethe’ from middle English (meaning a twisted band or ring of leaves) and you have the wreath as we know it today.

infocus

The circular shape is symbolic of eternity, or everlasting life because it has no beginning or end.

In ancient Rome the symbol became a popular display of victory. From a Christian perspective it represents the unending circle of life, with the traditional Holly as the thorns on Jesus’ crown and the red berries as his blood.

At this bleak time of year, it’s wonderful to use evergreens and other brightly coloured flowers, foliage, or fruits to adorn your wreath. The addition of expensive and rare fruits such as pomegranates, indicated wealth, but wreaths also included the display of pinecones, seashells and even imported products.

Once the decorations had been taken down, the edible decorations would be eaten and the bounty of summer enjoyed in the depth of winter.

Making your own wreath is fun and easy, and can vary from a simple and cheap evergreen circle to an elaborate bauble ring. For those who like a quick and easy option, simply buy a circle of oasis and soak it in tepid water, before sticking in sprigs of

evergreen foliage from the garden, flowers, berries, dried fruits, nuts, and bows.

If you have more time why not make your own base by taking a ring of string wire and covering it in moss or hay, holding it in place using thinner gauge wire, then wiring in the foliage and decorations. Be aware though that holly wreaths are tricky and gloves should be worn!

Merry Christmas.

A home for

Stanley

Stanley is a lovely 11-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier looking for a new home.

He has been homeless for a while and is currently with foster carers but would love a place to call his own. He is a sweet dog looking who deserves to be spoilt rotten. He is a real people lover and loves his walks and a cuddle. If you are thinking of taking on a pet please get in touch as we have many dogs like Stanley, and cats too, who are desperate for a home of their own.

Top tips for the winter season • If left outside cats may seek warmth in dangerous car engines, or get trapped somewhere without access to food and water. Make sure their catflap doesn’t become frozen over and stuck so they can’t get back in. It is a good idea to keep them inside when it gets really cold, make sure they have a litter tray to use indoors.

• Make sure pets are not left outdoors for too long, just like us they can develop hypothermia if they remain in the cold for long periods. Small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs are particularly vulnerable and you may want to bring them inside if possible, or make sure they have extra bedding to keep them warm.

• Salt and grit can also be harmful to dogs and irritate their paws. After walks, wash their feet and make sure there is nothing stuck between their pads. Keep fur between pads trimmed to prevent ice-balls forming which can also be painful to them.

• Be very careful if it is icy outdoors and keep your dog on the lead if you may pass frozen water. Call for help but don’t go after your dog if they do run onto ice, it can be extremely dangerous.

For more information about the homeless pets looking for homes at Blue Cross in Thirsk visit www.bluecross.org.uk. The website also has lots of advice and pet care tips.

Blue Cross wishes readers and pets a very merry Christmas!
