The hike in personal tax allowance is a good thing, but I need to find an expert to work out paying a bit more into my pension to avoid paying 40%, but as soon as I start thinking about it my brain melts. Anyone know a good financial advisor?

The one tax that really really bugs me is that I get private medical insurance through work. Because it is taxed as a benefit I pay tax on the value (around £700 a year) but by having this I have saved the NHS over £20,000 in the last 3 years with 2 operations done privately, where I paid a portion of the treatment costs myself, yet I get taxed for freeing up an NHS bed.
