Bank of England
Since Gordon Brown handed over the reins a couple of years back these are the chaps running UK plc. So if you want your to sort your macroeconomics from your microeconomics, then this is the place to start. Every press release, every bill about to wend its way through Parliament, plus everything you need to know about the Euro, the price of gold, and details on how to visit the Bank's museum in Threadneedle St.

The Euro
Okay, we've been ignoring it long enough. What is this Euro thing, how much is it worth and will they take it down your local for two pints and a packet of crisps? The Government isn't exactly fully behind the Euro and neither, unsuprisingly is its website, but it does offer a refreshing and straightforward critique of what the Euro will mean for individuals and business as Europe moves toward a true single market.

HM Treasury
Surprisingly accessible and east to navigate, the website of Her Majesty's Treasury covers everything you are ever likely to know about taxation and fiscal matters in the United Kingdom plus, we would hazard, a whole lot more. You'll find texts of all laws, decrees, announcements on taxation, the Euro, alterations in excise duty, reports on the latest budget, as well as reports on the UK's current economic position.

International Financial Encyclopedia
Incredibly useful to know what your average financial advisor is on about, absolutely essential if you are going to be looking at financial sites from the US, Canada, Australasia and South Africa. We tried it out with some of the more arcane and up-to-date vernacular we've been hit with in recent months and it came through with flying colours. So if you're bamboozled by balloon payments or unsure about amortization visit this site.

The tax return
Let's face it. This was not one of the sites you probably had in mind when you bought your PC and decided to go surfing the Internet. But, like it or not, under the new self assessment scheme the Inland Revenue now expects you to fill in your own tax return, get it right, and get it in on time. And if you don't manage to do that, they'll charge you interest. So this site could save you time and money.
