APRIL
The new tax year starts on April 6, so check you’re on the right tax code and if you’re due a tax rebate at WWW.GOV.UK. . If you are owed money, remember the tax office always get in touch the old fashioned way, by letter, so if you spot emails claiming to be about tax rebates, ignore them as they’ll be dodgy scams!
Thinking about booking your summer holiday? Save up to 40% on long haul trips by holding off until two months in advance, according to travel site KAYAK.CO.UK.
Prescription charges often go up in April. If you need regular medication, save with a Prescription Prepayment Certificate. It’s £29.10 for 3 months or £104 a year for unlimited items, instead of £8.60 a time.
