Summary

Tax is suddenly exciting news.

For normal people, it’s the start of a new tax year with another dump of - some ill-conceived - changes from Chancellor George Osborne to deal with.

For the disgustingly rich and famous, thanks to a leaky law firm, details have been emerging of their attempts at avoiding paying into state coffers around the world.

Even David Cameron is implicated. And after some blithering attempts to divert attention from his involvement there are calls for him to resign.

Theoretically, the new tax year could see a new Prime Minister.

But could it see a new you – maybe as an investor for the first time?

Join This is Money’s Rachel Rickard Straus and Lee Boyce and Share Radio’s Georgie Frost for a leisurely audio stroll around this new world of rubbish cash Isas, complicated new other Isas and the lure of unknown returns from the stock market.

Also in the spotlight…

There’s a new bank only available on the iPhone. Should you trust it?

The young people, property ladder Venn diagram is becoming more and more like two separate circles

Do you use the internet to spy on your friends’ house price?

There’s the latest instalment of Under Fire Buy-to-let – a divisive love-hate story of money and housing

A fascinating look into how easy it is to trick the gullible with a pretty obvious fraud

Plus a few pensions mentions – because that mess will be going on for years to come.

It’s a fun one.
