This month we have a technical Howwow on a subject that has been requested several times - the recently introduced Residence Nil Rate Band.  On the surface this appears to be relatively simple but, like a lot of these things, there are lots of quirks that can catch an unwitting paraplanner out.

Our guru to help us demystify this is Carol Wells.

Carol is Head of Wills, Trusts and Estate Planning at Abbey Tax and an expert speaker on this topic.  A Chartered Tax Adviser specialising in capital taxes for individuals and trusts, at the start of 2017 after 13 years with Irwin Mitchell LLP in Sheffield, Carol moved to Abbey Tax to establish their IHT Consultancy Service operation.

Join us for this hour-long online chat with Carol, where we'll be discussing topics like:

Basically, all the good stuff and more that you'll need to get a thorough understanding of what this means and how to apply it.

If there's something you've been wanting to ask about the RNRB then this Howwow is for you.  Go on, once you've registered, pop your question under the Q&A section - don't wait for the Howwow,  or email us here, or ask in real-time on the day.

Join us by pressing the 'save my spot' button.

This Howwow online is on the Wednesday 26 July, 1-2pm. Can't make it? Then watch the replay, available  just after the Howwow finishes

If you enjoyed that Howwow, then head over Big Tent and say hello. There's a whole bunch of paraplanners hanging out there.

Got a question? Try these answers on for size

Save your spot by clicking the button on the top right. It's free, the only thing you have to do is register an account.

On the day of the Howwow just sign back in here. But, we'll also send a reminder email ten minutes before it starts.

On the tech side of things. Viewing the Howwow on browsers such as Chrome or Firefox work best. Headphones are a good idea if you share an office, plus the ability to type so that you can ask questions via the chat feature.

Just sign-in and view a recording of the session whenever it suits you.

Yes! As many as you can throw at our panel. Plus, if you can't make the Howwow,  book a spot and add a question beforehand, the panel will then answer it during the event.

Can I suggest a Howwow topic or be on the panel?

Absolutely, the more the merrier. Drop us an email.

You bet your bottom dollar there are, and on lots of useful topics for paraplanners. Watch past and/or register for any upcoming events here.

There isn't an upcoming Howwow listed, when will the next one be?

Sorry about that. We're just confirming the topics and putting together an A-Team panel for it. We do aim for every last Wednesday of the month, at lunch time (1-2pm for most normal folk), so you can join in while eating your sandwich.

Sometimes we'll throw a curve ball and change the date. That's because we want to bring you AMAZING panel members, and they just can't make Wednesdays. It's as simple as that.

Powwows vs Howwows - what's the difference?

Here's the Powwow lingo.  Powwows are informal gatherings designed by paraplanners for paraplanners to exchange views, learn things, fix things and share things.

Got that? But there's more. Where Powwow gatherings are on a number of topics,  Howwows are for those times when we want to focus on ONE topic in particular and, in depth.

Sometimes we meet in person,  and sometimes we just like a good chinwag online.  Enter Howwows Online.

Actually, my question was on something else

Ooh, we like new questions. Just pop it in an email and send it on its merry way to how@paraplannerspowwow.co.uk.

One last question, what do you do with my details when I sign up?

Crikey, another good question! We’ll use your details to keep you posted on Powwow happenings. From time to time, this will include activities that our supporters are participating in that we think you’ll find interesting.  We share information at an aggregate level with our supporters every now and then.
