Is the end of salary sacrifice looming because of the new cap on National Insurance relief? For a significant number of businesses, the answer seems to be yes.

If you’re self employed (or just a sole trader business owner), here’s my pension guide for you.

The deal that’s a steal…

If you’re looking for kitchen stuff, head over to Zwilling*, which has an outrageously discounted offers section* that mixes sales with outlet products.

Some of the items are over 80% off.

Their knife blocks (with the knives, of course) were my favourite when I did a bunch of production testing for work but there are also some serious savings on cast iron products.

One of the biggest discounts? The Zwilling Artis 20cm bread knife*, which is now just £9.95 instead of £58.95.
