The beginning of November saw an increase in Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) from 6% to 9.5%, meaning millions of consumers will see a rise in their annual premiums for policies including home and contents cover, motor policies and private medical cover (Insurance Advice).

With motor insurance being one of the widest affected sectors of the market, the AA has spoken out, stating that it expects most insurers to pass the increase directly onto their customers. Young drivers can expect an average premium hike in excess of £42 while motorists living in London are looking at an increase of around £30 per year.
