Three guides, written as booklets rather than web pages, for reading start to finish; each was rewritten in November 2026 with the current schemes and the 2026 tax changes. Enter a first name and email and the link arrives in a minute; three short notes on the same subject follow over the next fortnight, and you can stop them with one click.
