One week after budget day, are you better or worse off? Could you be better off than you realise? Perhaps there are tax allowances to which you are entitled which you are not claiming - for example, suppose you run a small garage - are you claiming for the extra laundering involved? What is the best way to guard your savings from inflation? National savings are a bargain for some - but are you quite sure you are one of them? Building society interest comes to you tax paid: would your money be making more for you somewhere else if you are not a taxpayer? What about investing for children? Who is affected by capital transfer tax? Put your personal problems to accountant Mavis Moullin and financial journalist Tom Tickell.
