Further to the chancellor’s Autumn Statement yesterday we are pleased to inform you the ATEB suitability system has been updated overnight:
– Updated ‘Glossary of Terms’ to reflect the new approach to Stamp Duty Land Tax and the revised rates/bands
– Updated ‘Glossary of Terms’ to include the changes to NISA legislation. More specifically; if an ISA saver in a marriage or civil partnership dies, their spouse or civil partner will inherit their ISA tax advantages.
We look forward to providing more information on further changes coming to the software soon.



FCS Transitional Arrangements
Steve Bailey Compliance Update
As you will be aware the Financial Services Authority ceased to be and the Financial Conduct Authority took over the regulation of financial advice firms on 01 April 2013.
The FSA issued PS13/05 last week which includes updated rules and transition arrangements. The policy statement itself is 88 pages but the ‘appendix (3)’ that accompanies it is a mere 1990 pages so you must excuse us for not as yet absorbing every word. The document can be seen here.
